Suede: The Luxe Trend Already in Stores ||

As the leaves turn and the air cools, suede is emerging as the must-have texture of the season. Soft, structured, and subtly nostalgic, suede is making a major comeback for Autumn/Winter 2025, and it’s already hitting the racks in your favourite Australian boutiques and high street stores.

Why Suede, Why Now?

Fashion houses from Paris to New York sent models down the runway in suede everything—oversized blazers, midi skirts, boots, and even tailored trousers. The appeal? Suede offers a balance of tactile richness and refined edge, perfect for layering and transitional dressing.

Here in Australia, designers are embracing the trend with a local twist: think lightweight suede shirt-jackets (shackets), slouchy boots in earthy tones, and vintage-inspired trench coats that nod to the '70s without feeling costume-y.

Not Sure How to Wear It?

Start with Accessories: Not sure you’re ready for head-to-toe suede? Try a saddle bag, ankle boots, or a belt to dip your toe into the trend.

Mix Textures: Pair a suede midi skirt with a chunky knit or a suede bomber jacket with silk or denim. This contrast adds depth to your outfit.

Stick to Autumnal Hues: Shades like camel, chocolate, rust, olive, and warm taupe enhance suede’s natural richness and work seamlessly with other seasonal staples.

Layer Smart: A suede overshirt over a turtleneck or fitted tee makes for an effortlessly stylish daytime look.

From Zara and Witchery to Aje and Scanlan Theodore, suede pieces are already filling shelves—especially in the form of boots, skirts, and outerwear. Vintage and preloved stores also offer great options for one-of-a-kind suede treasures.

Suede is inherently luxurious and elevates even the simplest outfit. Whether you go full western or keep it polished and urban, it’s the sweet touch your winter wardrobe deserves.

Happy Shopping
