Suede has been super popular in the last few months – we’ve seen it in the form of skirts, dresses, shirts, and boots. It’s a popular fabric for winter because it’s very warm, and you may have become accustomed to seeing suede winter coats out there. They’re usually heavy, with some sort of fur collar. Suede jackets for spring are different. I personally prefer a lighter moto jacket, which basically looks like a suede version of a leather jacket – very cool, very trendy. You can also opt for a more retro style with buttons, or something super boho and Coachella-esque with fringe.
No matter what you pick, there’s no denying that suede jackets are perfect for spring weather, which can get quite chilly at times. They’ll keep you warm without making you look bundled up, and they can make any outfit look instantly more put together. I have a rose gold and pink suede jacket I snagged from a limited edition Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s line last year, and I can’t wait to wear it. If you’re excited to wear yours, here are 20 style tips on how to wear a suede jacket for a little bit of fashion inspiration!
