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 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.
Magda Butrym oversized suede jacket
Give your day-to-day uniform an It Girl-worthy upgrade with this suede jacket from Warsaw-based brand Magda Butrym. Perfectly crafted for a chic neutral touch, this sleek brown jacket is made from buttery smooth suede with sculptural shoulders and flap pockets. Layer it over wide-leg jeans paired with a T-shirt or chunky winter knitwear and white trainers.
Versace suede bomber jacket
Versace offers up a luxurious take on everyday style with this caramel-hued bomber jacket. This soft suede jacket is the kind of piece that can make the most casual outfit look put-together so go for a relaxed vibe with jeans, a basic white tee, and some slides for a relaxed day out.
Bode trefoil jacket
With references to craft tradition and vintage ‘50s style, this Bode suede jacket is a great way to embrace a retro soft-girl aesthetic. In a camel-hue with exaggerated collars, its ideal to reach for during the transition from summer to autumn.
ME + EM cropped military jacket
Go for a youthful, adventurous vibe in this cropped ME +EM suede military jacket. A wardrobe staple, the jacket is cut for a boxy fit from supple olive suede. Pair with coordinating trousers for a beautiful monochrome look or wear over cargos for street style-chic.
Brunello Cuccinelli biker jacket
A classic biker jacket crafted in buttery lambskin suede, this Brunello Cucinelli design is a wise investment piece. The monili-chain trim at the collar is a subtly fun detail and up the ante when thrown on over jeans or with a dress and boots: this classic silhouette will only get chicer as you wear it in.
Blazé Milano Tatoosh jacket
This Blazé Milano jacket 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, but will also be reaching for it when temperatures (inevitably) start to drop.
