While the leopard bootie isn't necessarily a groundbreaking shoe in 2018 [1], Gigi Hadid has proven there's no time like the present to spice up old footwear. The supermodel slipped into her namesake Tabitha Simmons haircalf ankle boots [2] ($659), sporting them with a pair of cropped jeans, all to show off her opaque tights [3]. The layering trick obviously provided warmth on a cold March day, but it also played up the shade of her shoes, which was accented by a fuzzy Vince hoodie, shearling-sleeved Maje bomber [4] ($548), and gold-tone Linda Farrow aviators [5] ($1,105).
While we might be used to wearing our animal-print booties with a pair of dark skinnies and a military parka, Gigi showed us just how to refresh our approach this Spring as she made an edgy staple look so surprisingly funky. Read on to see Gigi's full ensemble, complete with a studded Valentino bag [6] ($2,995), then shop her kicks along with plenty of similar options at the same functional heel height. Oh, and you know the drill: complete with tights [7].
