When it comes to quintessential transitional style, outerwear in leather, denim, and cotton gabardine is a given. But the resurrection of the suede jacket, over the past few years, has been hard to miss.
Suede jackets surged on the fall runways, from Coach’s longline aviator-style coats to Hermès’s pale green zip-up style. Miu Miu modernized the bomber silhouette, while Tod’s sent out hefty maxi trench coats—all feel perfectly relevant for the upcoming season. Previous resort collectsions proved that suede can come in unexpected colorways (Bottega Veneta) and with playful accents (fringe à Isabel Marant), too.

The Updated Trench
You can never have too many trench coats during the fall, but now a new bombshell has entered the villa. A suede trench, be it Frame’s single-breasted brown option or Saint Laurent’s luxe style, adds sophistication to any outfit you put together.
The Long Suede Topper
As we ease out of winter, a longer coat is still needed. We can already imagine these layered atop lace-trimmed silk slips, lightweight knits, and balloon pants.
