I don't know about you, but I have far too many pairs of wintry black and brown shoes in my closet, and boredom has officially set in. I also wear jeans far more than any other item in my closet during fall and winter, so buying shoes that make them a bit more exciting is my main shopping objective this season. Luckily, it hasn't been hard to figure out which trend to add to my wardrobe: black-and-white animal-print shoes. All the cool girls are wearing it, and all the cool brands are making it. In this case, that cool girl is Dua Lipa, who wore a pair of zebra-print pumps with a velvet jacket and dark-denim jeans for dinner in NYC last week.

From dalmatian to pony to zebra, these chic animal prints are even more versatile than leopard, and wearing them in shoe form indicates that you have cool style. Plus, you'll look like you put more effort into your jeans outfits than you did. The best black-and-white animal-print shoes are calf-hair ones, and I found a handful of great options to add to your winter wardrobe. Keep scrolling to shop them and see Dua Lipa's styling of zebra shoes.
