If you're a bonafide Chloé girl with pictures of Sienna Miller plastered over your sartorial mood board or not, you've likely noticed the boho chic revival underway since last spring. Although it's still going strong, winter's chilly temperatures mean we've swapped out floaty maxi dresses and ruffled blouses for more insulating alternatives. Namely, suede everything. From trendy It bags to Western-inspired blazers, the velvety fabric has taken over the runways and the street style set alike. The latest boho trend to get the 2025 treatment, however, is suede skirts.
As with suede bags and jackets, designers are veering away from Glastonbury associations when it comes to suede skirts. Instead, you'll find elevated designs sans the throwback tassels and fringing crafted in rich autumnal hues such as chocolate brown, caramel, burgundy and olive. On the runway, Miuccia Prada has naturally been leading the charge with micro minis at Prada and sleek midis at Miu Miu while buttery soft pencil skirts found their way into the SS25 collections at Versace and Alexander McQueen. If you're skeptical about how suede skirts would fare off the runway, consider the street style metrics both at fashion week and on the internet where chic fashion insiders sported swathes of suede in all shapes and shades, making a convincing case for the trend.
While Mrs. Prada's designs are the obvious choice for those wishing to splurge, suede skirts have naturally filtered down to the high street with a wealth of affordable options catching the style set's attention. A particular favourite that's been cropping up on my Instagram feed for a while now is Sézane's Meliora Skirt in a versatile camel shade.
