In case you’ve been living firmly outside of the trend-sphere this autumn, you may have noticed an abundance of suede finishes making the rounds with the style set. Perhaps the most plush of all AW24 trends, luxurious suedes in rich shades such as conker, dark chocolate, tan and ganache are arguably the best way to nod to the now.
The good news? Suede is never not on trend, so you may already have a great suede bag as part of your accessories rotation. If not, may we suggest a slouchy hobo bag, such as the style by Michael Michael Kors below.
With a direct line to Instagram trends, brown suede blazers and trenches have gone viral this season. Those below from H&M, Massimo Dutti and Isabel Marant are selling fast, so move quickly if you want to upgrade your outerwear for the season ahead.
Lastly, what about practicality? If you’re going to invest in suede, don’t scrimp on a good suede protector spray. Follow the cardinal rules: avoid wearing suede shoes in the rain and keep them in good condition by maintaining them with a suede brush or, if not, a toothbrush will revive tired fabrics. Finally, while household hacks such as vinegar and baking soda are often recommended for erasing stains, we say err on the side of caution by using a specialist suede rubber or, if in doubt, bring your item to a cleaner that specialises in suede.
