Sorry To My Classic Black Shoes, But This Printed Shoe Trend Is Defining Fall 2025

I’ve never seen more people so excited for fall to begin. So many TikTok creators are sharing ideas for fun activities to do during the season. Meanwhile, those on Instagram are posting in-feed carousels with captions saying goodbye to summer. Even outside social media, on the streets, fashion people are already wearing the top trends, such as leopard-print shoes.

In the past few weeks, I’ve noticed leopard-print shoes on several fashion insiders. For instance, at Copenhagen Fashion Weekattendees pulled out their printed footwear and paired them with jeans and genie pants. I’ve also seen content creators posting on Instagram about their new fall purchases, which include leopard-print shoes. But it’s not just influencers—celebrities are jumping on the trend early as well. A good example is Alexa Chung. While in Venice for the International Film FestivalChung was seen with her fiancé, Tom Sturridge, wearing an Elvis Presley graphic minidress with leopard-print heeled flip-flops.
