Embrace the Fall Trend: The Timeless Charm of Suede
why suede?
Suede is a versatile fabric that comes from the underside of animal skin, giving it a soft, velvety finish. Unlike its leather counterpart, suede offers a casual elegance that invites endless styling possibilities. It’s not only about aesthetics; suede also provides comfort and breathability, making it perfect for transitional weather.

key suede pieces for fall
Suede Jackets: A classic suede jacket is an essential piece for any wardrobe. Whether you opt for a cropped style or a longer silhouette, this layer adds instant edge to casual outfits. Pair a brown suede bomber with a basic white tee and high-waisted jeans for a chic look.
Suede Boots: Knee-high and ankle boots in suede create a stunning focal point for fall ensembles. Opt for rich hues like burgundy, camel, or olive green to complement the autumn palette. Suede boots pair beautifully with skirts, dresses, and even tailored pants, adding a touch of elegance and warmth.
Suede Bags: Accessorizing with suede can elevate your outfit without overwhelming it. Look for crossbody bags or tote bags in soft suede. These versatile pieces add texture and sophistication, making them perfect companions for your everyday outings.
Suede Skirts: A-line or pencil skirts in suede bring a touch of femininity to your wardrobe. Style it with a fitted sweater and ankle boots for a polished fall look that can easily transition from day to night.

how to style suede
Layer Wisely: Fall is the season for layering. Combine suede pieces with knits or denim for a balanced texture. A suede jacket over a chunky sweater offers both warmth and style.
Over the years, my suede collection has grown. Suede’s soft, textured surface makes it highly versatile. It can be dressed up or down, fitting seamlessly into both casual and formal wardrobes. This year, I decided to add a suede blazer from Madewell to my closet. It’s heavy enough to pull double duty as a blazer or jacket and will look fantastic with jeans, dresses, or skirts. One of my favorite fall color combos is brown and black, so I chose charcoal jeans and a black asymmetrical blouse to pair with the suede blazer and ankle boots. A lightweight scarf is perfect for layering with jackets, coats, and sweaters, and it looks fashionably chic as the weather turns crisp.
Play with Colors: Earth tones reign supreme in fall fashion. Don’t shy away from experimenting with colors-mix suede with rich shades like mustard, burgundy, or forest green to create a harmonious look.
Accessorize: Add leather or metal accessories to contrast with the softness of suede. A statement necklace or angular handbag can create a well-rounded ensemble.
Maintain Suede: Suede requires a bit of care to keep it looking pristine. Use a suede brush to remove dirt and a protective spray for water resistance, ensuring your fall pieces last for many seasons to come.
As we transition into cozy autumn vibes, suede stands out as a timeless trend that merges sophistication with comfort. By incorporating suede into your wardrobe this fall, you’ll not only keep warm but also exude effortless style.
So, gather your favorite pieces and experiment with different looks! Fall is your canvas-paint it with the rich, warm textures of suede. Happy styling!

Love suede! I don’t currently have anything in suede in my wardrobe but the belt you feature has caught my eye. Just a subtle bit of suede to get me inserting a piece here and there. Great post!
Accessories are a great way to add a trend to your outfit!
Yikes on the faux pants! Do you really like how they look?
??? I’m wearing charcoal jeans in this post.
I LOVE this suede jacket. It reminds me of a jacket/blazer my mother had.
I wish this one came in other solid colors, like a forest green or even navy.(I did check the website to see)
I do love the color you have on; it looks so sophisticated, but this color doesn’t love me!
