Chestnut-brown suede jackets fit with the Nora Ephron fall aesthetic that reemerges as soon as Starbucks starts re-introducing its pumpkin-spiced flavours, along with chunky knitwear and a foliage-inspired colour palette. However this autumn things have cranked up a notch, and there is no doubt that it is the texture of the season – my entire Instagram feed looks like it’s been swathed in toffee-hued suede, meanwhile the front rows at fashion week no doubt had a distinct whiff of suede protector. Suede handbags are the It-bag du jour, the high street has been flooded with suede blazers and Miu Miu sparked yet another footwear movement with its suede trainers and boat shoes.
We understand if the mere mention of suede makes you think of the novelty, fringed jackets that are often worn with floral headbands and lace maxi dresses at Coachella, but this autumn you won’t find any Woodstock references. Instead, designers presented a more elevated take that is less festival dressing and more upscale minimalism. These pieces are all realised in a rich colour palette (think mahogany, khaki and tan shades), with tailored silhouettes and very little frills or embellishment. While the below pieces will blend seamlessly with any autumn look, we find that one of the most indulgent ways to wear this fabric is to cloak your entire body in suede, tonal separates.
