Sumptuous suedes have been fall’s dominating texture for seasons now, leaving their mark on everything from sleek handbags and oversized blazers to wide-leg pants and menswear-inspired overshirts. And while labels like Miu Miu, Khaite, Loewe, and Bottega Veneta can–and should–be credited for suede’s recent claim to sartorial fame, it’s thanks to several industry insiders, from Vogue’s very own to retailers’ elite, who started sporting the luxury texture that it became the ultimate layer to slip into.
Vogue’s Top Suede Styles
Looking for a suede starting point? Suede jackets are a chic introduction to the trend. Throughout fashion month, showgoers left their boxy black blazers and khaki trenches at home in favor of oversized suede blazers in rich brown tones. In Paris, one stylish attendee threw on her roomy suede jacket atop a draped poplin blouse in powder pink and a preppy argyle sweater. The result was lesson in fall layering, proving that more truly is more.
A suede skirt is can be equally statement-making (but no less wearable). Look to Alexa Chung for proof—she showed off some serious leg in her suede mini during Paris Fashion Week, effortlessly juxtaposing it with a slouchy leather bomber jacket, polished cashmere polo, and patent kitten-heel pump.
To round it out, suede handbags and footwear make for a luxurious finish, no matter if you choose Khaite’s Western-inspired knee boots or DeMellier’s covetable suede tote.
Below, eleven suede outfits that not only have the runway seal of approval, but the street style scene’s, too.

Everyday Elegance, Achieved
Turn up the sartorial volume on your go-to pair of black trousers by teaming them with a funnel-neck suede bomber jacket, such as this one from Róhe. Underneath, The Frankie Shop’s blue-and-white striped button-up offers a welcome color pop, while Aeyde’s little black Mary Janes effortlessly complete the look. Cool-ify the ensemble by accessorizing with Kallmeyer’s tassel-adorned eye-glass case and a pair of Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunnies.

Fall Floral Remix
Few things are as synonymous with fall as suede and floral print. Luckily, this street-style approved look includes both. Recreate it with Nour Hammour’s shearling-collar aviator jacket and Prada’s sweet chiffon midi dress, then inject some attitude via J.Crew’s chunky brogues and a pair of grey cashmere socks from Johnstons of Elgin. End on a timeless note with Khaite’s leather top-handle bag and Jacques Marie Mage’s tortoiseshell shades.

Take a styling cue from the gals out front and sport yours with Citizens of Humanity’s clean-lined black jeans and pair of black ankle boots from Staud. Underneath, Rùadh’s structured white tee is anything but an afterthought; same goes for Sophie Buhai’s minimalist-with-a-twist silver cuff.
