If there is one combination I’m loving for fall, it’s rich brown + suede.
The Steve Madden Rafe in Umber Suede takes an easy slip-on mule and gives it that warm, textured look that feels so right for the season.
I especially love a mule during transitional weather. It gives you the richness of a fall shoe without feeling too heavy when it’s still warm outside.
WHY I LOVE IT
Rich Umber suede is perfect for fall
Easy slip-on mule silhouette
The ideal transitional shoe
Brown suede adds instant texture to an outfit
Great with denim, trousers + long skirts
Works beautifully with cream, camel + chocolate brown
Easy enough for everyday but still makes an outfit feel styled
DEAR LUCY EDIT
THIS IS THE SHOE FOR THAT “IT’S FALL BUT IT’S STILL 75°” WEATHER. 🤎
I'd wear the Rafe now with cropped denim + a white tee + blazer, or even shorts + a lightweight knit.
Then as it gets cooler, pair it with wide-leg denim + an oversized sweater or trousers + a crisp white shirt.
The rich Umber suede gives you all the fall feeling without committing to a boot.
Exactly the kind of transitional shoe I always wanted on the floor this time of year.
