As we reluctantly pack away our Summer wardrobes and prepare for the cooler months ahead, the suede jacket is one piece that’s already dominating the Autumn/Winter fashion scene. It’s the ultimate transitional purchase that's totally worth investing in, and after all, it’s the jacket that makes the outfit, right?
As you spot more and more celebs wearing the trend or your fave influencers on the gram wearing one, you’ll notice that it’s not just any old suede jacket that’s making moves; it’s THE brown suede jacket. Think chocolate shades - from camel to mahogany, to khaki-brown and beyond. If you’re lacking inspiration on how to wear a suede jacket, just look to fashion icon Rochelle Humes or new mum Hailey Bieber, who both perfectly execute a chic and minimalistic outfit with this season’s must-have jacket.
How to wear a suede jacket
A suede jacket will quickly become the most versatile piece in your wardrobe. Complete your evening look by pairing it with a suede skirt or black slip dress. If you plan on wearing it as your go-to jacket, it can easily be styled with trending leopard print jeans or thrown over a denim maxi skirt and a knitted jumper.
