As the weather starts to turn, our minds inevitably drift to transitional outfit ideas. That means there's an important decision to make: namely, what jacket style, colour and material we’ll be using as our go-to throw-over for September and October days.
It’s a tricky choice, given we want something that goes with our existing winter wardrobe and is easy to wear with lots of outfits, but also chic enough to bag us compliments. The most stylish option to tick both these boxes this season, according to the fashion set? A chocolate-tone suede jacket.
The material was all over AW25 runways: from Miu Miu’s suede bomber jacket to Tod’s maxi-length soft trench coats. Celebs aren’t far behind, with everyone from Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Lily-Rose Depp to Sofia Richie and Bella Hadid recently being snapped in a mocha suede jacket.
We’ll be pairing our chocolate suede numbers with white or cream jeans for sunnier September days, before switching to darker blue washes as we get closer to winter. As for the styles we’ll be shopping? We’ve selected nine of the best below. Our round-up includes both suede and faux pieces, so there’s options for every budget. Happy shopping!
