Ellie Thumann Demonstrates How to Elevate Streetwear Basics With Bold Footwear

Nothing brightens up a monochromatic ’fit quite like a bright accessory.

There’s nothing quite like a vibrant, fun accessory to brighten up dreary winter days, and Ellie Thumann just proved this theory to be true while strolling the streets of New York City.

In an Instagram carousel shared to the app on Wednesday, Feb. 18, the 24-year-old content creator showcased a series of recent outfits, starting with a black and white streetwear ensemble. Thumann paired a basic white tee with a pair of black leather shorts, sheer tights and a fur coat worn over top. A pair of bright red cowboy boots on her feet elevated the entire look, bringing a fresh pop of color to the model’s look. She carried a small black purse on her arm, coffee in hand, and accessorized with a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses by Elisa Johnson.

“happy boots 🙂‍↕️,” Thumann captioned her post, which also included several snaps from New York Fashion Week, including her appearances at the L'AGENCE and 7 For All Mankind runway shows.

While most of us think to reach for snow boots during winter, Thumman made the case for swapping the predictable footwear choice for a pair of fun and funky cowboy boots. If you’re looking to punch up your wardrobe in a similar fashion, shop the model’s Steve Madden footwear below.

A pair of pointed-toe cowboy boots is an incredibly versatile closet staple, as they can be styled with just about anything. And in addition to the bright red hue Thumann opted for, these Western boots are available in a few other prints and patterns. One happy reviewer noted that the Albany Red Leather “feels high-quality and the fit is comfortable right out of the box.”

“these boots were MADE for you ❤️,” the official Steve Madden Instagram account wrote in the comments section of Thumann’s post—and we wholeheartedly agree.

“I’m kind of in awe. So bright, so cute, so stylish. Wow! 🔥,” someone else noted.

“Love the boots ❤️❤️,” another follower applauded.

“Perfect cowgirl,” an additional fan gushed.

Anyone who follows Thumann closely knows that cowboy boots are her official model-off-duty wardrobe staple, so when it comes to the Western-inspired footwear, she’s always someone to look to for the most stylish of selections.

“It’s so funny to think I’ve been to some of the most elite fashion shows out there, and I always feel my best when I get to put on my cowboy boots and my favorite pair of shorts or jeans,” she recently told French magazine L’Officiel.
