Spotted on the autumn/winter 2026 runways of Max Mara, Dior and Hermès, suede has come up trumps as a standout texture over the past few seasons. During Milan Fashion Week, show-goers made a case for swapping boxy black blazers and beige trench coats for oversized suede jackets in rich shades of brown. For similarly polished takes on the look, turn to high-street favourites with a knack for leather like Whistles, AllSaints and Massimo Dutti, or invest in pieces from luxury leather experts such as Toteme, Nour Hammour and Khaite.

A suede skirt or wide-leg trousers are similarly statement-making but no less wearable. One attendee styled brown suede bottoms with an off-white windbreaker and a pair of kitten heels. Elsewhere, a suede pencil skirt proved an easy companion to a simple cami, knitted jumper and minimalist handbag. Less expected, perhaps, were the suede tops that also caught our eye, with plenty of options to explore from & Other Stories, Stouls and Max Mara.

Of course, if head-to-toe suede outfits feel like a little too much, suede handbags and footwear offer a more understated way to work the texture into your autumn wardrobe. Scroll on for eight fresh suede outfits and styling ideas, inspired by the street-style set.
