Overview

Right now, the one fall trend that fashionistas are keeping on hand for the cooler fall temperatures is the all mighty suede jacket. It’s rare to come across a jacket that feels luxuriously cool and everyday-wear appropriate. Which is why, when you do, you hold on to that versatile wardrobe hero like a prized trophy.

The sumptuous texture was all over the streets during New York Fashion Week, and it’s easy to see why. Suede has a richness that adds instant depth to practically any outfit without making it feel overly styled.

Imagine throwing one over your go-to jeans-and-a-T-shirt combo or bring a modern edge to your workwear trousers. The finishing touch instantly elevates an otherwise casual look without giving off any I’m-trying-too-hard vibes. On the other side of the outfit spectrum, picture pairing one with a lace-trimmed slip dress. It works just as seamlessly, adding a cool finishing touch without distracting from the rest of the look. That’s the beauty of a great suede jacket: It doesn’t shout for attention, no matter how you style it.

Details

There’s a leather collar-trimmed design by Aligne at the top of my wishlist. The zip-up jacket has that made-to-never-go-out-of-style wow factor that helps justify the price over time. Siempre makes one with the silhouette of a blazer and a belted finish. It’ll look incredibly chic with Bermuda shorts and your go-to boots or flared denim and flats. Want something that can carry you from fall into winter? Avec Les Filles has a longline option with a collar that can be flipped up for a true street-style-star finish.

I could wax poetic about the closet-worthy suede jackets popping up in stores right now for days, but I’ll spare you and get to the good stuff. Keep reading for Refinery29’s curation of the latest and greatest suede jackets— plus, plenty of inspiration for how to style them this fall.
