As we move towards autumn, I'm eager to start integrating a few well-chosen cool-weather buys into my wardrobe, and having monitored the runway collections and consulted with my stylish colleagues, a certain It item has floated up to the top of my wish list for the season ahead.
It seems I'm not the only one to come down with this very particular shopping bug—I've just spotted Bella Hadid in the exact item I'm keen to own. Wearing a brown suede jacket at home this week, Hadid has just cemented it as an autumn 2024 must-have.
Wearing hers in a relaxed blazer silhouette, the model paired the suede layer with black trousers and a laid-back blue button-down. With a slouchy shape and matte finish, a suede jacket can add an effortlessly chic vibe to countless casual looks.
Already a mainstay in the wardrobes of many a stylish Londoner, the style set is wearing the trending jacket with jeans and cotton trousers right now, but I expect to see it styled with cosy wool trousers and luxe cashmere knits as we near the end of the year.
\Composed of a hardy leather fabric, suede jackets are naturally long-wearing, and so you can easily pick up a pre-loved or vintage style at secondhand fashion retailers. Below, I've included a chic secondhand style from French brand A.P.C., but sites including eBay, Vestaire Collective and Vinted are brimming with timeless finds.
If you'd rather shop a new-season version then you're also in luck, as both high-street and designer brands are offering elegant iterations at a range of price points. COS' take sold out in just a couple of days and Massimo Dutti's swiftly followed suit, but fret not, for I've found the best styles that still have stock.
Read on to discover my edit of the best brown suede jackets.
