Every fall shoe edit needs a boot with a little edge, and the Steve Madden Everest in Black Leather is that boot for me.
I love the contrast of a tougher, moto-inspired silhouette against all the softer pieces we’re wearing right now. It gives feminine dresses, oversized knits + relaxed denim a completely different attitude.
And in black leather, it’s one of those boots you can pull out whenever an outfit needs something more.
WHY I LOVE IT
Moto-inspired silhouette adds instant edge
Black leather makes it incredibly versatile
A great counterpoint to feminine fall pieces
Gives denim + basics more personality
Works with dresses, skirts + relaxed jeans
Easy way to toughen up an otherwise polished outfit
Feels current without being a one-season shoe
DEAR LUCY EDIT
EVERY CLOSET NEEDS A LITTLE EDGE. 🖤
I'd wear the Everest with a feminine midi dress + oversized cardigan and let the boot completely change the mood.
Or pair it with relaxed denim + a white tee + oversized blazer for an easy everyday look.
But I especially love this kind of boot with something unexpected—a long skirt, pretty blouse or soft cashmere sweater.
That high/low mix is what makes an outfit interesting.
TOUGH. CLASSIC. VERY COOL. MAKES MY STEVE MADDEN BUY. ✓
