The best suede jackets, skirts, bags and shoes to shop for autumn | Junior Publisher Published October 5, 2026 7:00am You’ll want to add these items into your basket ahead of next season. (Picture: Metro/Getty) We blinked, and somehow September is here, meaning a new season is imminent. Despite how we’re still battling warm temperatures, now is as good a time as any to get prepared ahead of its arrival, as many brands are launching their autumn collections. Whilst brown and deer print are dominating colours and prints, there’s one fabric in particular that is shining above the rest, and it’s suede. The soft, buttery texture has been creeping back onto our fashion radars for a while now, but come the new season, we’re going to be seeing it everywhere from jackets and skirts to shoes and bags. And before you ask, no, you don’t need to blow your hard-earned cash to bag these staples. There’s a reason the fabric makes its triumphant return annually. It has that cosy feel that we naturally gravitate towards as the temperatures drop, whilst its rich, earthy tones pair well with the autumnal colour palette. It’s also surprisingly easy to wear, adding a little texture and polish to anything you pair it with, without trying too hard. We’ve rounded up the best suede buys to shop now, whether you go full 70’s glam or just want to dip your toe into the trend.
