First spotted on the FW24 runways at labels like Miu Miu, Khaite, Loewe, and Bottega Veneta, it wasn’t until several industry insiders, from Vogue’s very own to retailers’ elite, started sporting the luxury texture that it became the ultimate layer to slip into this fall.

Looking for a suede starting point? Suede jackets are a chic introduction to the trend. During New York Fashion Week, several showgoers left their boxy black blazers and khaki trenches at home in favor of oversized suede blazers in rich brown colors. Vogue Shopping’s senior market editor, Madeline Fass, style Staud’s with her signature minimalist twist, which included a tailored black pant, crisp white button-up, and polished penny loafer. For options with a similar sensibility, look to Reformation’s suede-trimmed barn jacket, roomy overshirts from Massimo Dutti and Toteme, or even Mango’s cropped choice, all of which can be dressed up or down.
A suede skirt or wide-leg trouser are similarly statement-making but no less wearable. One showgoer styled Loewe’s wide-leg pants with a glossy leather jacket and pair of little black booties. Meanwhile, a suede A-line skirt from Altuzarra is a chic mate for a cashmere sweater and minimalist handbag. To round it out, suede handbags and footwear are effortless as they are elegant, whether you choose Khaite’s cocoon-shaped shoulder bag or a pair of knee-high boots from Stuart Weitzman. Find out why all things are officially coming up suede for fall, below.
The Suede-Trimmed Barn Jacket With a Matching Suede Skirt
Test out two fall trends in one with a suede-trimmed barn jacket. Styling-wise, juxtapose its oversized fit and slight utilitarian look and feel with a dainty suede pencil skirt, platform pair of sandals, and day clutch. As seen on this showgower, the end result is practical as it is polished–a chic combination of both fall fashion moods.

The Suede Overshirt With an It Bag
A roomy overshirt reigns supreme during the fall season–and this street styler’s suede pick is built for layering. Worn over a plain white tee and pair of plaid pants, the look’s minimalist hues were a welcome switch-up to classic chocolate brown suede shades. As any other cool girl would do, she polished off her suede outfit with Alaïa’s Le Teckel bag and a pair of suede loafers–to keep everything on theme, of course. When the weather gets colder, throw a coat on top to keep the shirt in rotation.

The Wide-Leg Suede Pant With a Slouchy Bomber Jacket
When Loewe’s wide-leg suede pants hit the FW24 runways, they were an instant hit. And now, the street style scene has taken notice. Outside the brand’s SS25 show, one industry insider sported hers with a slouchy bomber jacket–another fall trend we’re eyeing–and pair of pointed toe black booties. Other chic outfit additions include Uniqlo’s cashmere polo sweater, J.Crew’s burgundy suede tote, and a pair of dainty pearl-drop earrings from Sophie Buhai.

The Suede on Suede With a Statement Mary Jane
Why only wear one suede item when you can wear two? Take this showgoer, for example. She sported a suede skirt set on the streets of Milan that had us all running to our favorite retailer (and already overflowing shopping carts). A pair of edgy Mary Janes, cozy cashmere crewneck, and must-have black handbag help drive the look home.

The Suede A-Line Skirt With a Platform Loafer
Ladylike, A-line skirts were spotted on nearly everyone this street style season. But the most precious pick of all? The suede skirt. Like this showgoer, wear yours with a bohemian-inspired item or two–think a clunky pair of platform clogs, cashmere polo shirt, mini tote bag, and tailored blazer. Helmet optional!

The Oversized Suede Blazer With a Classic Black Trouser
A black blazer might be the ultimate closet classic, but we’d argue that Madewell’s luxurious suede style is a welcome upgrade. Vogue Shopping’s own, Madeline Fass, slipped into the menswear-inspired It item during New York Fashion Week, styling it with a simple black pant and crisp white button-up. True to her signature minimalist style, she polished off the look with a pair of soft-toe loafers, elegant leather belt, and Bottega Veneta’s woven mini bag.

The Suede Trench Coat With an Embellished Midiskirt
Trench coats for fall? Hardly groundbreaking. This season, though, why not go for a suede version instead? Equally versatile, this showgoer’s belted trench looks especially elegant when paired with an embellished midiskirt, draped blouse, and pair of lace-up combat boots. And to tie it all together, Gucci’s suede crossbody bag is a no-brainer.

The Suede Knee-High Boot With a Preppy Plaid Midiskirt
Suede boots are a fall fashion must-have–and this season’s selection is sleeker than ever. Look to a pointed-toe, knee-high pair to add a touch of luxury to any look in mind.

The Cropped Suede Jacket With a Bright Blue Button-Up
Even a texture so luxurious can appear down-to-earth. While exiting a show, this model off-duty slipped into her cropped suede jacket with a simple black jean, pair of retro sneakers, and bright blue button-up, which added a subtle splash of color. Her burgundy handbag was another heavy hitter in the mix.

The Suede Shoulder Bag With a Model-Off-Duty Loafer
A sleek suede handbag requires minimum effort, but delivers a maximum reward. It also ups the ante on even the most basics of outfits. During Milan Fashion Week, this It girl carried her sumptuous suede shoulder bag alongside a simple gray crewneck sweatshirt, pair of tailored trousers, and worn-in penny loafers. The final look was as cool as it was casual.
