Suede to Go: Leather’s Hippy Cousin is Back for 2025

FRom blazers to mini-skirts and slouchy shopper bags, we’re spoil for choice in suede on the high street this year. As with most trends worth following, the provenance can be traced back to prada and miu miu, the latter showing neat biker jackets and knee-English skirts styled with shirts (left) or swimsuits for Summer: Think fitted bodys

The suede blazer or short jacket is an incredibly useful wardrobe addition. A Blazer Adds Instant Interest to a Jeans and A T-Shirt Look and Keeps A Mini Skirt Look Modern When Worn with a Chunky Flat Sandal or Loafer. It’s perfect for that in-between April Weather.

There are a multitude of updated colors aside from classic camel and taupe, look for interesting shades from cognac to olive green. Whistles’ Western-Style overshirt with tassels, crafted in a Rich Green (£ 399), works well with summer neutrals and all shades of denim, or go all-in with zara’s khaki co-ord (4, below). Meanwhile, Shades of Brown and Tan Marry Perfectly With Florals. Consider swapping your denim jacket with a suede overshirt, or mint Velvet’s Tan Classic Collar Patch Pocket Jacket (£ 285) that adds utility spin to a summary dress look.

Have fun exploring the vintage suede jacket market. Look for retro details featuring Western style, particularly fringing and shearling finishes. Beyond retro has a great selection of Motorcycle Jackets and Aviator Bombers to 70s Belted Coats, All Starting from £ 65. Lastly, a ice cream suede bag is the vantieft way to wear the trend: We love massimo’s Dutti’s Dark Green Bucket Bag (£ 169) and Sezane’s Camel Gabin Maxi Bag (£ 360) that doubles as a weekend or carry-on bag.
