Les chaussures à imprimé léopard n'étaient pas sur ma carte de bingo de Cannes, mais Alexa leur donne un air tellement élégant.

      Indeed, leopard print remains a trend for summer 2026, but instead of wearing it from head to toe, the most stylish individuals are adopting a more practical and summer-friendly approach to the classic pattern. A prime example is Alexa Chung, who recently appeared in sunny Cannes, bringing a refreshing touch to leopard print. Rather than opting for the leopard-print minidresses that were so popular in previous summers, she chose a more subtle look by wearing leopard-print heeled flip-flops.

      Accompanied by a knee-length pencil skirt and a simple long-sleeve tee, Chung’s outfit exuded a relaxed yet polished vibe, and her shoe choice added a sophisticated touch to the overall look. As summer settles in and temperatures rise, I anticipate that leopard-print sandals will become a go-to footwear choice. If you want to stay ahead of the trend, keep scrolling to find my recommended leopard-print sandals for the season below.
