As the autumn season rolls in, cold weather and fashion enthusiasts alike await the fashion trends of the season, and it seems suede will dominate Autumn 2024. From bags to jackets, pants, shoes and more suede is set to be the fabric of the season.

Recently, designers have taken inspiration from the pages of 1970’s fashion. From the beloved Frye Campus Boot  having a summer 2024 rebirth to all-denim looks being all-the-rage, it is not surprising that suede is making a comeback. Autumn 2024 leaves behind bold colors and harsh patterns and embraces natural fabrics, rich, neutral colors, and layers upon layers. 

Making a debut in suede may be intimidating, so here are a few new pieces to help you start your own head-to-toe collection. Begin with investing in a unique pair of suede loafers, like these Zara Suede Penny Loafers. These shoes are a chic way to start your collection. These shoes can be dressed up business casual or dressed down with a pair of linen pants and a chunky sweater. Moving up, a statement piece like this Gap’s Suede Belt can turn any ordinary outfit into magazine-worthy style. You can never have too much suede. Pair your shoes and belts with a suede bag such as this Madewell's Essential Medium Bucket Tote  or a Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28. Both bags take on an elevated yet simple design that lets the suede shine. The final essential for a suede collection is a jacket; he Free People Fringe Out Vegan Suede Jacket  takes on the perfect mix of 1970’s style with a modern twist.
