Today I woke up to one of those perfect autumn days. The sun was shining, there wasn’t a rain cloud in sight and there was a fresh chill in the air. It was the kind of day that signals it’s time to pull your favourite light jackets out of retirement yet it’s still warm enough to get away with bare legs too. What it also signals, is that right now is the perfect time to transition your wardrobe into the new season and get ready to embrace autumn's biggest trends. And, there’s one trend in particular I can’t wait to start wearing: suede.
You’ll undoubtedly have seen that suede is big news right now. It was all over the Autumn/Winter 2024 catwalks earlier this year at Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu to name a few, and now the weather’s finally changed, all the most stylish people are incorporating it into their outfits. And it’s no wonder why, making the perfect pairing to the boho revival, the western trend and even more polished aesthetics as well as extending the wear of your summer pieces by giving them a more autumnal spin, suede is a fabric that works seriously hard in your wardrobe.
While the suede jacket is definitely leading the way as the latest must-have piece, it isn’t the only way to introduce suede into your wardrobe. Alongside boxy style jackets and trench coats, you’ll also find chic suede tailoring in the form of trousers and blazers as well as floor grazing suede skirts for a soft, boho vibe. Plus, there are also some seriously good suede accessories currently dropping in stores too, perfect for if you don’t want to go headlong into the trend just yet.
