It might all have started with The Row’s Margaux bag, it might just be a natural circle of trends returning. But suede, especially chocolate brown suede, is here. And it couldn’t come at a better time. The leaves are falling. Days off are filled with coffee walks or city strolls. And evenings are getting darker and cozier.
With the autumnal colors like burgundy, forest green, mustard, and different shades of brown and beige, there comes one very specific trend: suede in chocolate brown. Suede has been trending in the past, but it was never as sophisticated and chic as it is this time around. Although suede can be a little tricky during fall as it doesn’t work with rain, it des speak to the character and spirit of fall. It expresses coziness and in chocolate brown it eases us in to the dominant black outfits of the winter to follow. This season we’re looking especially for clean, elegant, chocolate brown suede to style them in classic, elegant, casual, and playful looks.
Classic outfit with chocolate brown suede
For a classic fall look, rely on materials, pieces, and colors that you’ll pull out of your closet fall after fall again – and then style them with a chocolate brown suede piece. Style your jacket or coat with a button down from By Marlene Birger layered with a Cos cardigan. Pair it with pants from The Frankie Shop, Tod’s loafers, and a Celine Triumph bag.

There are so many elegant suede pieces out there at the moment. It’s hard to choose. But bags will make a great staple. Go with a tailored suit in the same color from Stella McCartney. What really makes brown pop, is red. So a red tank top from Isabel Marant is the perfect addition. Finally accessories with Jimmy Choo kitten heels and a bangle from Jennifer Fisher.
