Anna Wintour has been clashing patterns with python boots lately - so naturally, we need a pair

Forget leopard, python is the print that we're predicting will dominate 2025 trends – and Anna Wintour has been showing us the way like the pro she is, combining various pairs of snaky boots with bold prints.

A new year is here and we're excitedly awaiting all of the best fashion trends it has to offer - and snake print is one we already know is going to be huge. So it's time to make it part of your 2025 capsule wardrobe if you haven't already.

Animal prints can feel a little intimidating or OTT at times – but they don't have to be. Especially when it comes to python print. Expertly lending itself to muted beige, brown and sandy hues, the snaky pattern is easier to incorporate into your everyday style rotation than you might think. That doesn't mean going seriously bold with it isn't an option, though – especially if fiery red snake print is up your street.

Global fashion icon and Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, has been showing us just how it's done, embracing python boots with open arms this January and pairing various pairs with clashing patterns and standout shades.

Stepping out in rainy Paris for Haute Couture week, Anna sported a range of snake print footwear. Arriving at the Place Vendôme for Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026, the Condé Nast Global Editorial Director went royal blue in a longline double-breasted coat, teamed with her signature shades and an intricate paisley print maxi dress.

Adding even more contrast in the form of her beige and black snakeskin boots, Anna proved that python print doesn't have to be paired with monochrome.

A neon green and pink floral print midi dress by Miu Miu made for another striking street style moment, along with a pair of rich red python print boots which provided the ultimate print clash moment.
