Trust Me – This Is The Only Trend You Need To Look Put-Together This Autumn

Given Zara has something of a reputation for making the best suede pieces on the high street, you'll spot the brand a few times on this list. While we've already waxed lyrical about its now sold-out charcoal suede jacket, this brown jacket is next on our list, and still in stock. Made from 100% leather with a simple silhouette and zipped pockets, it's the kind of jacket that just blends into any kind of look.

While there's plenty of sporty suede trainers out there (we love Puma's Speedcats), COS' take is much more elevated. With a streamlined silhouette and tonal details, these trainers will look brilliant whether you're stepping out in jeans or tailoring. While this brown shade is perfect for a low-key addition to your wardrobe, we're also fans of the red for a pop of colour.

What do Bella Hadid, Katie Holmes and Daisy Edgar-Jones have in common? They're all incredibly stylish, and they've all endorsed this suede bag from Dune on multiple occasions. With a much more accessible price tag than its celeb fan base suggests, this woven tote is incredibly roomy, so it easily fits your laptop and essentials for work, while its versatile chocolate brown shade is perfect for everyday use.

I know studded suede is heavy with Coachella associations, but this M&S style is a subtle take on the Western trend. Cut for a slightly boxy fit, it features stud detailing along the yoke and collar as well as utility-style pockets. Understated with a little embellishment, it's a godsend for days when your outfit feels a little too plain.

A little bit retro, a little bit tailored, and completely wearable, these suede trousers from Mango will add a sophisticated touch to your favourite graphic T-shirts and will look equally as nice with fine knit cardigans. Designed with a subtle flare and a concealed button, they're also streamlined enough to work for the office, whether you add the matching jacket or not.

We might be heading into boot season, but a pair of suede ballerinas will prove surprisingly wearable too. Take, for example, this pointed-toe olive green style from Zara, which will keep your feet warm on their own through September and with frilly socks as the temperature drops further. Perfect for days when you want something dressier than your Chelsea boots without opting for heels.

Designed with a minimalist Parisian flair, Sézane's Meliora skirt is a simple piece that's incredibly versatile. The knee-length skirt is cut for an A-line fit and features seamed panels and belt loops – perfect for pairing with a chunky belt and frilly blouse for a Sienna Miller-approved boho chic look. Alternatively, style it with a sleek white T-shirt and knee-high boots for an elegant everyday look.

Not keen on a toffe-hued jacket? H&M has a brilliant burgundy iteration crafted from faux napped leather. While this means it'll be slightly less warm than pure suede, it's also much more affordable and can easily be layered over cashmere knits. Somewhere between a polished blazer and relaxed shacket thanks to its notched lapels and patch pockets, this is a piece that'll work its way into your wardrobe with ease.

Another great faux suede piece on the high street is this mini skort from Abercrombie & Fitch. The classic beige is so versatile, while the mini length looks great with tights and knee-highs, whether you tuck in a button-down or style it with the matching jacket.

Given suede's boho leanings, it's hardly a surprise that Free People has plenty of suede pieces on offer. But none are quite as nice as these bootcut trousers. Designed for a mid-rise fit, they feature seamed panelling and will look great styled with clogs and a ruffled blouse or with sleek ankle boots and a turtleneck. If you're after a more striking alternative, it's also available in a red shade.

There's something so elegant about a pair of kitten-heeled knee-high boots, especially when they're swathed in suede. These pointed-toe boots from M&S will look brilliant styled with midi skirts and dresses, or with a pair of skinny jeans tucked in.

If your style MO is relaxed yet undeniably cool, invest in a suede bomber jacket to complete your jeans and jumper outfits. This faux suede bomber comes with an elasticated cropped hem and a leather spread collar, and thanks to the mocha shade, will look much more expensive than it is.

While our summer dresses are officially too lightweight for September's chilly weather, suede dresses make for a brilliant autumn-ready upgrade. This faux suede olive green midi from Zara drapes across teh body for a flattering fit and will look so dressy with your patent leather boots and jackets.

Trust Ralph Lauren to nail a preppy classic with these Wynnie suede loafers. Rendered in a dark olive, this velvety pair features a curved toe and stacked leather heels, and is detailed with an 'LRL' debossed logo on the vamp for a subtle touch of logomania. Comfortable enough for all-day wear, the muted hue means it'll pair nicely with your basics and striking partywear alike.

In case you've been on a social media hiatus, let me tell you that Coach is having a moment with Gen Z cool girls right now, and the Tabby is making its way to well-dressed women everywhere (including Emily Ratajkowski). This quilted suede take is incredibly chic, will fit all your essentials, and will look brilliant with just about everything in your closet for years to come.

Whether you're stepping out in head-to-toe suede or simply adding a touch of the tactile fabric to your look, you'll need a sleek belt like this simple style from Arket, finished with a gold-toned buckle.

Granted, this Staud blazer is something of an investment piece, but considering how timeless it is, it's well worth it. The single-breasted blazer is made from 100% calf leather and features a classic silhouette with notched lapels and flap pockets. The chocolate brown shade is also brilliant for wearing with tailoring and slip dresses alike, promising excellent cost-per-wear when you factor in how you'll be throwing this on every autumn/winter for years to come.

A mini skirt may not be top of your list for autumn/winter, but this suede skirt from Reformation will look so good over tights and knee-highs. Fitted at the waist with an A-line hem, this skirt is also available in a dusty pink shade and will prove a particularly versatile option for date nights and parties.

Cowboy boots are an often-overlooked wardrobe essential. Take, for example, these suede ankle boots with a chunky heel, which are perfect for adding a Western flair to jeans and jumpers and will look equally as good with autumnal dresses.

Lean into suede's Western associations with this tobacco-hued shirt from Isabel Marant. Made for a regular fit with a classic collar and chest pockets, it'll look effortlessly chic with flared jeans and cowboy boots, or even layered over a lightweight knit and midi dress.

If you're on the hunt for a bag to tote your laptop, lunch, and endless knick-knacks to work, consider Mint Velvet's woven suede style. Roomy enough to fit everything you'd need for the day, this burgundy shoulder bag features a comfortable shoulder strap for all-day carry and will easily be the highlight of any outfit you pair it with.
