The trench coat is perhaps the pinnacle of fall outerwear—and considering its overwhelming prevalence on the runway and in real life, the suede trench is your best bet right now. Burberry and Sergio Hudson showed the soft layers for fall, proving that the material can transform a seemingly simple silhouette into something a bit snazzier. Whether worn with a crewneck sweater and pleated shorts, a turtleneck and trousers, or a T-shirt and baggy jeans, these jackets will make everything in your closet feel all the more autumnal.
The suede bomber jacket
Another timeless style is the bomber jacket. We’ve seen this aviator-inspired jacket soar to new heights in recent seasons, thanks in part to its continued presence in collections from Prada, Loewe, and other high-profile labels. While most bomber jackets are fashioned from technical nylon or heavy-duty leather, supple suede has grown in popularity in recent seasons, giving the otherwise rigid shape a softer feel and striking the perfect balance between edge and elegance. It’s that duality that allows it to look good with everything—be it a tank top styled with cargo pants and flip-flops or a rugby shirt paired with a pencil skirt and pointed pumps.
