Sartorially speaking, there’s nothing quite like the Great British weather to keep you on your toes. Whether it’s oscillating between 40°C heatwaves and torrential downpours, or stuck in a state of prolonged dreariness, what’s going on outside has a massive influence on what we wear. But what if there was a solution? A does-it-all piece that can take you from brisk spring mornings to balmy summer evenings, from mild autumnal afternoons to baltic winter weather? Enter: the suede jacket.
Lighter than leather, but with just as much attitude, this fashion-set favourite is the easy, stylish solution to trans-seasonal dressing, with a retro edge to boot. Whether biker, aviator, longline or cropped, there’s very little suede jackets don’t go well with, no matter your personal style philosophies. Wear it with a micro-mini skirt and knee-high boots for a look Charlie’s Angels would approve of or layer over a bohemian maxi dress and the best Chelsea boots like the flower children of yesteryear. This versatile piece is perfect for all occasions — a day at the office, a night out, or even a casual day of summer holiday fun with the family. Here’s our pick of the best suede jackets to invest in now and wear in all seasons.

Loro Piana Cashmere and Suede Bomber Jacket
Loro Piana offers up quintessential quiet luxury with this caramel-hued bomber jacket.

Rixo Marianne Embroidered Suede Jacket
With references to craft tradition and bohemian ‘70s style, this Rixo suede jacket is a great way to embrace a retro soft-girl aesthetic. Crafted from tactile suede with a curved cropped hem, the jacket features delicate floral embroidery. Ideal to reach for during seasonal transitions from summer to autumn.
Khaite Cropped Suede Jacket
Go for a youthful adventurous vibe in this cropped Khaite suede jacket. A wardrobe staple, the jacket is cut for a boxy fit from supple brown suede offset with leather panels. Pair with a matching skirt for a beautiful monochrome look or wear over cargos for streetstyle-chic.
Brunello Cuccinelli Green Suede Jacket
A classic trucker jacket crafted in mint-green lambskin suede, this Brunello Cucinelli jacket is a wise investment piece. The monili-chain trim at the flap pocket is a subtly fun detail. Throw on over jeans or with a dress and boots: this classic silhouette will only get chicer as you wear it in.
Tom Ford Shearling-trimmed Suede Jacket
Tom Ford found inspiration in 1960s lingerie ads for his oversized aviator jacket. Crafted from supple suede and trimmed with accents of fluffy lambskin shearling, this is truly an investment piece you’ll come back to time and time again. We’re wearing ours with a micro-mini and knee-high boots a la Mr Ford’s signature sexy styling, but will also be reaching for it when temperatures (inevitably) start to drop.
