TREND ALERT: Snakeskin Prints

We've seen snakeskin prints in all shapes and sizes. From leather bodysuits (a fashion faux pas) to chic accessories, this print is so hot right now when worn correctly. Snakeskin prints are just the right amount of exotic, sleek, and trendy yet timeless. Any girl (or guy) can pull it off!

The easiest way to wear a snakeskin print is in a nude/neutral tone that goes with most colors. We can't all afford the trend straight off the runway, and that's where Feet First comes in. Below are some of our sexiest snakeskin print items, all available online and in stores.

The Sam Edelman Annabel in snake is a triple threat right now, including three major trends: snakeskin print, curved wedge, and espadrille. This sandal screams summer casual and is also available in gold.

The super comfortable Gusty by Nicole also features an espadrille wedge. At a lower heel height, this shoe will keep your feet feeling good all summer long and into fall. The platform wedge has an adjustable ankle strap to fit any size, and the insole is lightly cushioned for comfort.

Probably the most classic of the three, the Bernardo Maxine in gold is an easy to wear summer sandal that looks great on anyone. This is a true neutral tone that will look fabulous with any outfit it gets paired with: black, colors, patterns, or white will compliment this sandal.
In addition to accessorizing with shoes, snake print clutches are a subtle way to spice up  your outfit for daytime or evening cocktails or date night. First, the Lodis Veronica Leather Snake Print Clutch in brown is a sexy and convenient way to store all  the essentials because of its large envelope size. The Veronica features features a hidden magnetic snap closure, an interior zip pocket, interior organizational slot, and 6 credit card slots.
Another fabulous evening clutch is the Inge Christopher Mumbai Snake Print Clutch. It's smaller size makes it the perfect, fierce accessory when paired with a little black dress or white hot summer outfit.

Everyone can pull this print off, or can they? Take a look at how NOT to wear snakeskin prints:

  • Don't overdo it. Too much of a snakeskin print can cause your outfit to take a turn for the worst. That's why snakeskin accessories are best when you are trying to minimize the look while still keeping your look fun and on trend.

  • Don't mix and match with similar prints. Polka dots, stripes, and floral prints are all fun to mix and match sometimes. Snakeskin is not one of the patterns you want to play around with.



Staying away from mixing and matching snakeskin prints, a studded metallic bracelet or cute hat is the best way to accessorize your look. The Magid Straw Fedora in natural would be perfect with a flowy black dress and the Bernardo Maxine sandals for summer.
Metallics are gold are such a great combination with neutral snake prints that the Diana Dubin Collection Resin Bracelet in black or gold is a must!


BONUS! The Sam Edelman Taryn Platform sandals are currently on sale! They have a metallic snake print with chunky heel and a 70s vibe. This heel will enhance any outfit, bringing a little funky style to a summer dress or your skinny jeans.
