Styled by Evan Elkowitz: How to Walk into Fall with These Madison Maison Boots
Meet Evan Elkowitz @stylebyevan, the Los Angeles-based personal stylist and trip curator who helps women (and wardrobes) travel in style—literally. With her expert eye for elevated staples and global sensibility, she’s curated two killer looks using one standout piece from Madison Maison: the Leather Ankle Boot in cognac.
Who She Is
Evan Elkowitz is known for her thoughtful, practical approach to personal style. As a stylist and trip curator, she blends fashion and travel into a seamless experience—helping her clients build wardrobes that fit both their lives and their destinations. Featured on Good Morning America and in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Newsday, and the Daily Mail, she brings a well-rounded, international perspective to modern style.
Why Evan Chose the Boots
“They’re slim in the calf, they fit perfectly under my vintage jeans… the heel is just perfect,” Evan says in her unboxing video. The Madison Maison Leather Ankle Boots are handcrafted in Italy from soft, hand-rubbed leather, with a sleek silhouette and a block heel that combines elegance and comfort. They’re available in both cognac and deep brown, two colors that pair easily with almost anything in your wardrobe.
Look 1: Moto Jacket, Cashmere Sweater, and Vintage Denim
For her first look, Evan styled the boots with a moto jacket, a cashmere sweater, her favorite “Donna” scarf, and vintage Levi’s. The result is effortless cool—urban and refined at once. The boots’ slim-calf shape lets them slip neatly under jeans, creating a long, flattering line. It’s a look that works anywhere: school drop-off, a downtown lunch, or weekend errands.
Look 2: Cashmere Cardigan and Corduroy Skirt
Her second look softens the edge with texture and tone. A cozy cashmere cardigan and a corduroy skirt make the perfect pairing for fall. The cognac leather grounds the outfit, while a scarf adds a final touch of polish. This styling shows how easily the same boots can move from relaxed denim to something more feminine and sophisticated.
Styling Takeaways
Use these boots as your wardrobe anchor: one pair, many moods. They’re a versatile base for denim, knits, or structured skirts. Lean into warm neutrals—camel, cream, olive, rust—to complement the cognac tone, or let them stand out against classic black. A simple scarf or textured jacket can shift the mood completely without overwhelming the look.
Why It Matters
Evan’s approach shows why great design lasts. When a professional stylist chooses a piece like this, it’s not just because it’s beautiful—it’s because it’s wearable, timeless, and made to travel with you through seasons. Madison Maison’s craftsmanship and Evan’s modern sensibility align perfectly: both stand for quality, individuality, and effortless style.
