Despite snakeskin being the preferred print on the spring/summer 2023 runways (Khaite and 16Arlington are the ones to thank), it seems like the popularity has spread into the fall season. I know what you're thinking—snakeskin isn't anything entirely new to the fashion scene, but designers' fresh spins on the animal print have given it a cooler lease on life. Even when I was curating my fall wish list, I noticed I had more than one snakeskin addition, one being *the* Khaite belt everyone wants and printed boots from Schutz. I also snagged a tan snakeskin coat at a recent Nanushka sample sale, so you could say I'm on board with calling this the It print of 2023.
I combed through the internet to find the best snakeskin fashion picks, and I have a feeling you'll be quite pleased with the selection ahead. It can be pretty easy for animal-printed pieces to skew on the tacky side, and that's why I spent hours selecting the chicest and coolest options on the market for you to shop from. Keep scrolling to get in on the trend.
On the Runway
It's no secret that whatever Khaite releases on its runways instantly becomes what's designated as cool in the fashion world. I've already spotted the brand's belts, tops, and boots out among fashion folk.
Snakeskin doesn't only have to be done on leather. 16Arlington proves the print can be just as stunning on a sequined party dress.
On Instagram
As I said before, you can really thank Khaite for taking the lead on snakeskin ruling fashion in 2023. When our editor Anna LaPlaca showed up with this stellar on-sale pick from the designer label, multiple compliments (and maybe one jealous glare) were thrown her way.
If you're usually not one to play with prints, don't fret. You can still get in on the fun. Simply add a printed belt to your minimal outfit, and it'll act as the perfect finishing touch.
Shop the Trend
I've been seeing these Ganni flats in red all over NYC, but this printed pair has really caught my attention now.
I'm tempted to get the whole suit, but in the name of budgeting, I'll order the blazer for now.
If you can't manage to find the Khaite belt in stock or if it's a little out of budget, this is a good option to consider.
I'm ordering these ASAP.
A girl can dream, right?
The pointed cap toe is what sold me.
Imagine this top paired with a fitted skirt and a trench coat for the fall.
Just gorgeous.
You'll be surprised at how much you can wear these with. Jeans and a T-shirt? Check. A classic LBD? Check. Need I say more?
If there's one retailer that'll give you the latest trends at a solid price, it's going to be H&M.
Olive green and snakeskin are a match made in heaven.
I'm swooning.
This jacket will be a compliment magnet.

Give your basic tank tops a break for this one.
Prime shipping will have this belt on your doorstep within two days.
Add a fun touch to your coat closet this season.
