We love suede almost all year round, but the supple material shines the most in fall. Suede boots, bags, and ballet flats top our seasonal shopping lists, but the suede jacket is king.
Softer and more supple than your typical leather bomber, but with the same off-duty attitude, a suede jacket is as essential as it gets. Those looking for an everyday style have plenty to choose from this season—each with their own particular personality, from Prada’s feminine cut with a curved collar to Nour Hammour’s slouchy bomber style.
The shirt jacket (or “shacket”, as it’s fondly known) makes an appearance in suede, too: Banana Republic’s reissued utility style looks great with baggy denim, while a Toteme button-down style adds edge to a floral skirt. And luckily, there are options across the price spectrum.
Brands like J.Crew and Coach offer chic styles that hold their own against high-end designer takes. All of our favorite suede jackets—and how to style them—right here.
The Editor’s Formula Take a cue from Vogue’s head of editorial content, Chloe Malle, and style a cropped suede topper with a cheery red knit and floral trousers. Grounded Femininity Toteme’s suede “shacket” and Miu Miu’s Mary Jane loafers tone down the sharp femininity of a floral pencil skirt.
The It Girl Uniform Upgrade a crisp button-up and pleated trousers with a slouchy Saint Laurent bomber in suede. Corporate, meet cool.
The Minimalist’s Take Prada’s prim version of a suede overcoat sits well with minimalist separates: a slim maxi skirt, simple tee, and navy knit. The Weekend Ensemble For off-duty days, turn to Banana Republic’s reissued utility jacket.
Pair it with baggy denim, shirting, and classic kicks. The Modern Bohemian Suede can lean bohemian, too.
