The Lowdown: The Steve Madden brand always seems to strike the right balance between high style and mid-priced affordability. However, the style can be a little too “on trend” for some of us, so here’s a few of key pieces to get you started. We’d start with these Ensue boots (which would look fab with leggings or skinny jeans, these Bliz pewter sandals (super hot with denim), and wrap up with these Davin stilettos (which are waaay more versatile than you might think—wear them with everything from a club-worthy dress to jeans to trousers, pencil skirts, and more). And did we mention handbags? Some folks think of Steve Madden as only a mecca for shoes, but the handbags are equally great—just check out this BPATCHWRK clutch (yeah, we don’t always understand the style names either), for $98. Shipping is free for orders over $125.
