from boots to bags, suede is going to define this fall's quiet luxury trend
There is something about suede that feels seasonally perfect! Its plush texture and matte finish makes it perfect for autumn's crisp air. While leather has been the showstopper of fall runways for a very long time, suede is quietly reclaiming its throne this year. And its not just in the form of outerwear - it is across bags, skirts, boots and accessories.
Why Now?
More and more designers are leaning into suede this year for its versatility. It has the ability to look rugged yet polished, vintage yet modern. On the Fall/Winter 2025 runways, suede emerged as the main story. We saw suede trench coats at Paris Fashion Week, skirts in Milan and structured tote bags in New York. All in one - suede.And lets accept it: No fabric does autumn coats like suede. Silhouettes like trench coats, moto jackets and boxy shackets beautifully balance the softness of the fabric. But this is all old. Skirts and dresses is where suede is taking on a new life. A-line midi skirts in chocolate suede, body-skimming suede slip dresses - it is now everywhere.

However, the most versatile way to embrace suede this season is through accessories. From oversized hobos to structured top-handle bags, suede handbags are all over the fashion scene. This fall, brands are also pushing suede clutches and crossbody bags - something which you can use every day.
How To Style Suede?
The pro tip while wearing suede this fall is in its layering and contrast. Pair suede pieces with denim for a casual look or with silk and satin for a date night fit. In fact, you can also go tonal by layering different shades of suede.

Our suggestion? Avoid head-to-toe suede as it might feel overwhelming. Start small! A suede bag or pair of boots is an easy gateway. As the season deepens, you can add larger pieces like a coat or skirt.
