The Suede Trend

Suede

Suede has quietly reclaimed its place this season, emerging across runways as one of fashion’s most tactile trends. Bottega Veneta sent out supple suede trenches in rich, earthy tones; Saint Laurent worked the fabric into sharp, sculptural boots; and Alaïa gave us slouchy suede bags that feel both timeless and current. What makes suede resonate now is its ability to bridge softness with structure: the texture is inherently warm, grounding, and sensuous, while the silhouettes lean polished rather than nostalgic. Perfect for fall, it mirrors the season itself — layered, textured, and rich with depth — and offers a way to embrace luxury that feels understated yet unmistakably present.

  1. The Suede Trench Coat

No fall wardrobe feels complete without a suede trench coat — the ultimate investment piece that merges timeless tailoring with the richness of texture. From Yves Salomon’s double-breasted design to Nour Hammour’s relaxed Hatti trench, this classic outerwear style takes on new life in suede, delivering both polish and warmth. The elongated silhouette, often cinched at the waist with a tonal belt, makes it perfect for layering over knits and boots as the temperature drops. A suede trench isn’t just a coat — it’s a seasonal anchor.

2. The Suede Jacket

For a more casual but equally elevated option, the suede jacket offers everyday versatility. Alaïa’s hooded biker jacket leans into sculptural precision, while Isabel Marant brings effortless Parisian nonchalance to cropped, fitted cuts. Unlike leather, suede softens a jacket’s edge, making it wearable from day to night without feeling overdone. Whether paired with denim or draped over a dress, a suede jacket brings understated luxury into rotation.
