7 Stylish Women Take On Our Favorite Bold Colors For Spring

by Oona Kyung

While spending more time indoors, we've taken the opportunity to pack up our worn-out boots and heavy winter gear and dream of warmer days ahead. And now that spring is finally here, there's no better time to revamp your shoe lineup. The thought of getting back outside has us lusting over all the styles that come with the new season — strappy heels, pastel pumps, fresh white kicks — and the bold accessories that tie it all together.

If you're ready to embrace a bolder style and a more vivid color palette this spring, we've got the insider tips you'll need to make it happen. We're keeping an eye out for statement pieces that do all the heavy lifting, helping you get out the door and back to life outside with as little effort as possible. Whether it's a flossy heel or a '90s-inspired moment, finding that perfect piece to get you back out there begins with two words: Steve Madden. (You heard it here first.)

Need a little inspiration? We've teamed up with seven style leaders to show us how a few key pieces help bring out their personal style.

Remi's signature look is all about mixing new and thrifted pieces. Drawing inspo from Y2K and '90s Harajuku street style, she pairs her Steve Madden heels with bright colors and prints that complement her hair. Remi loves that her square-toed sandals can be dressed up or down.

Defining her personal style as "extremely eclectic, feminine, and timeless," Mia loves a "monochrome look with a shoe that matches the eye." Here, she pairs a baby-blue waterline with a sleek stiletto and ties in the leather look with an oversized jacket.

Tamia's monochrome look focuses on unexpected textures, shapes, and fabrics. Inspired by the bright blue of her bag, she opts for a tonal ensemble for a perfect spring moment.

Colorful and playful is Lindsay's M.O. Her best styling tip? Socks and sandals. "Although [it's] a styling choice that's usually laughed at," she says, "pairing a good heeled sandal with a cute sock is a really fun way to add something special to your look."

Brenn's style is effortlessly cozy and functional, and she makes it a top priority to be comfortable throughout her day. To complete her outfit, she leans into color-coordinating to pull everything together. For an off-the-runway detail, Brenn cinches her jeans with the ankle straps of her sandals.

Much like the city itself, Atlanta's personal style is funky and chic. When it comes to styling her spring look, she says, "sneakers are always a good vibe, and a bright-colored purse with a matching jacket is also an ideal situation." Catch her online in this head-turning ensemble.

Paired with some vintage denim cutoffs and a romantic purple top, Rohini lets these creamy cowboy boots take center stage. She builds her looks around comfort, but loves pops of color and usually mixes vintage pieces with sustainable brands. She loves this boot for its endless versatility.
