Sweet on Suede

This spring and summer, suede steps into the spotlight—and it’s adding some serious richness to the season’s most iconic looks.

Suede is one of the richest types of leather thanks to its luxe texture—and this season, it’s having a moment as one of the major trends. While it initially focused on handbags, suede is now showing up everywhere in fashion this spring and summer. So today, we’re sharing some extraordinary suede finds! You’ll see the bags (of course), plus boots, shoes, pants, shirts, and jackets. All are lots of fun and will bring tremendous wealth to your existing wardrobe. The luxe look and feel of this delicious leather make it a true statement-maker that adds that special something to your look

Another fun aspect of today’s blog? The colors! We’re seeing suede in shades of chocolate brown and grey—tones typically reserved for fall and winter. I love the sophistication they bring to spring and summer and the looks you can create with them. Better yet, these pieces will still work beautifully when fall rolls around. Just another plus!

So without further ado, let’s jump in!

Suede Bags

From micro crossbodies to totes (which are a major player in the suede bag trend), shoulder bags, top handles, and even a weekender duffle—you’ll see it all here. The richness of color pulls you in and highlights just how luxe these bags really are.

Suede Shirts

These stunning suede shirts are timeless and add incredible depth and dimension to your wardrobe. Dress them up, or wear them open over an iconic white tee to add a cool, casual twist to these extraordinary pieces. Once again, we’ve got a year-round win with this intriguing trend.

Suede Jackets

These wow-worthy jackets are all over the board in terms of style.  For those of you who love Free People and follow us regularly, you have heard me extoll the virtues of the denim swing jacket they have been showing over the last couple of years. Well—they’ve now introduced a suede version of this adorable piece. It comes in a number of colors, but I chose to show you the butter-colored version, as it takes me back to old-school Ralph Lauren, and I think is showstopping. That said, don’t miss the other luscious shades—they’re all gorgeous! You’ll also find utility and safari styles, collarless jackets, bombers, and even a suede hoodie. All I can say for this category is: wow, wow… and wow some more!

Suede Pants

The variety of shapes in this category is a true delight! You’ll see flared styles, pleated drapey trousers, cropped narrow-leg suede pants, and a fabulous pair of suede lace-up wide-leg jeans (I’m absolutely possessed by these!). Once again, these pieces will transition beautifully into fall—adding both style and staying power to your wardrobe.

Suede Shoes

Brace yourselves, ladies—this extraordinary suede shoe adventure is next-level! Suede has always been my preferred go-to leather in shoes and boots. Thankfully, it became a year-round staple years ago, which only adds to its versatility. Beyond that, the richness suede brings to each pair is unmatched. You’ll find everything here—from sandals and boots to retro sneakers, boat shoes, flats, loafers, and more. Have the best time with this! I can’t wait to hear which pairs (because, let’s be honest, it won’t be just one!) you end up taking home!

In Summary

Suede brings such a luxurious, rich dimension to leather—and every category we’ve shared includes treasures that will add serious value to your wardrobe. These are look-popping pieces you’ll wear again and again. Happy hunting, ladies!
