The Steve Madden Riggs in Banana Leather takes a classic tall boot silhouette and gives it a completely fresh feel in this soft, buttery yellow leather.
I love that the shape itself is clean + timeless. The color is what makes it interesting. And despite the name βBanana,β this isn't a bright yellowβit reads more like a warm, creamy neutral that could be surprisingly easy to work into a fall wardrobe.
WHY I LOVE IT
Tall, clean boot silhouette
Soft Banana leather feels fresh + unexpected
Warm neutral alternative to brown
Substantial block heel that's still wearable
Beautiful with denim, dresses + long skirts
Especially good with cream, camel + chocolate brown
Statement-making without feeling overly trendy
DEAR LUCY EDIT
THE BOOT THAT MAKES THE OUTFIT. π
I'd wear the Riggs with a long printed skirt + chunky cream sweater, letting that buttery leather peek out underneath.
Or keep everything tonal with cream denim + an oversized camel knit.
And I love the idea of this color against dark indigo denim + chocolate brown.
This is exactly the type of shoe I loved finding as a buyer: a familiar silhouette in a color that makes you look twice.
You don't need another brown boot when you can have this.
BUTTERY. UNEXPECTED. SO GOOD. MAKES MY STEVE MADDEN BUY. β
