When it comes to quintessential cold-weather style, outerwear in leather, denim, and wool is a given. But it was hard to miss the suede jacket resurrection that reemerged during 2024’s New York Fashion Week. Showgoers left their boxy black blazers and gabardine trench coats at home in favor of velvety camel and taupe suede versions.
On the fall/winter 2025 runways—and the 2025 resort collections—suede jackets surged, from Coach’s longline aviator-style coats to Hermès’s pale green zip-up style. Miu Miu modernized the bomber jacket, while Tod’s sent out hefty maxi trench coats styles. There were multiple tone-setting iterations last season, too. Bottega Veneta proved that suede can come in unexpected colorways, whereas Isabel Marant embraced Western twang with suede fringe jackets.
The suede jacket continues to seize the moment—and its versatility comes with endless styling possibilities.
Vogue’s Favorite Suede Jackets:
While it’s still warm out, throw it over a dress, or pair it with a white tee and a leather midiskirt; a thong sandal completes the look. Perfectly aligned with the coveted street style looks of now, Madewell crafted a no-brainer blazer for your everyday wardrobe—hurry and get your hands on it; it’s continuously selling out. And while a trench remains a go-to for those windier days, why not renew your collection ahead of time with a suede option from Proenza Schouler, Burberry, or Nour Hammour? They come bearing belts for a cinched look and in novel colors to make your fall wardrobe pop.
For those in-between seasonal moments, transition your look with a cropped suede jacket from Vince, or an affordable option from Massimo Dutti and Banana Republic that can also be layered under a heavier coat. Shop the best suede jackets for now and later, with plenty of transitional pieces included, ahead.
The Trending Suede Blazer
After being spotted on the runways at Miu Miu, Bottega, and Gucci and on countless style stars throughout fashion month, suede blazers are undoubtedly the season’s must-have item. Look to the Copenhagen crew for fresh styling inspiration—during the Danish capital’s fashion week, they were worn with everything from classic trousers to balloon skirts.
The Classic Jacket, Reworked
Longline coats and warm, plush fabrics are a given during the colder months, but there’s something absurdly sumptuous about a suede version of the classic jacket. These styles transform the traditional to the cool.
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 Nour Hammour’s double-breasted brown option or Saint Laurent’s luxe style, adds sophistication to any outfit you put together.
The Long Suede Topper
As the chill settles in, a longer coat is needed—especially for the nights out on the town. We can already imagine these layered atop lace-trimmed silk slips, knit dresses, and balloon pants.
