When it comes to quintessential transitional style, outerwear in leather, denim, and cotton gabardine is a given. But the resurrection of the suede jacket, over the past few years, has been hard to miss.
Suede jackets made their mark on the fall runways, from Altuzarra’s cropped, buttoned-up style to Burberry’s shearling lined overcoats—all feel perfectly suited to the chiller months ahead. Previous collections also proved that suede can come take on unexpected colorways: Gabriela Hearst showcased sumptuous deep blue suiting, while Alberta Ferretti explored oversized blazers in a rich burnt orange hue.

Its styling possibilities run the gamut, from pairing seamlessly with printed silk pants and crimson sweaters—as Chloe Malle demonstrated during last season’s NYFW—to contrasting sweet, airy dresses for an unexpected take on transitional dressing.
