If there are two things Brian Cox is putting on his ‘out’ list for the remainder of 2023, it’s talking about stealth wealth and ludicrously capacious bags.

Proving that he’s done with his iconic Succession character, Logan Roy, the 76-year-old actor delivered the greatest plot twist of all—save for that “dramaturgical” season four episode—by deviating from the Upper East Side essential ‘quiet luxury’ uniform altogether.

Stepping out in New York for an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Cox’s ensemble looked like he stepped off of the Yellowstone ranch in Montana rather than the corporate Waystar Royco skyscraper, proving that the coastal cowboy aesthetic can work just as well in the city as it does in the country.

For the occasion, the Scottish actor opted for a rust suede shacket with gold hard wear and matching calf-grazing suede boots from American label, Savas.

As veteran pop culture commentator, Evan Ross Katz, shared on his Instagram story: “Dare I declare these thee boots of the summer?”

Given we’ve seen Cox saunter around New York in nothing by stuffy suits and a pulsating veined forehead—which will happen when you have three meddling children battling it out for your media conglomerate—it’s genuinely refreshing to see Cox embrace frivolity.

Even if it does mean his post-show glow and sartorial choices came at a very high cost.

But given his Western fever ensemble, which we’re sure Kendall Jenner has saved for her next trip to Wyoming, perhaps these boots aren’t ushering in an early summer, but rather sartorially commencing the start of Coachella weekend one.

We can just picture Cox getting on a private jet directly to the main stage in the Palm Springs desert for Frank Ocean’s set.

It’s what Logan would want for him.

But irrespective of whether you’re heading to the desert or not, below behold GRAZIA’s edit of Brian Cox-approved suede boots to shop:
