Introducing the Unexpected Suede Staple That Will Be Everywhere This Season

Last fall, I picked up a suede skirt on a whim, not really sure how much wear I’d get out of it. To my surprise, it quickly became one of those pieces I reached for constantly—maybe it was because I bought one that came with a matching jacket or, more likely, how good it looked with a pair of knee-high boots, but wow it made for a good purchase. Since summer started, I’ve been counting down the days until I could pull it out again. Now that the temperatures are finally dipping, it feels like the ideal moment to bring it back into rotation, and I'm brainstorming outfit ideas.

What I love most about this unsung wardrobe hero is how versatile it is. A rich camel or chocolate-brown skirt leans into the '70s vibe that is having a moment right now, while a deep navy or charcoal version feels a little more modern and unexpected, like something I'd pick up for a night out on the town or a business meeting. Suede skirts aren’t just a fleeting fall trend—they’ve become seasonal staples, and these styles are well worth checking out.
