This Mango Jacket Was My Most Complimented Item Last Autumn – Now It’s Back In Two New Colours

Last year, I fell hard for the suede jacket trend. And with so many options to choose from, of course I wasn't the only one. The thing is, though, I told myself I wasn't going to ever get one. Because as someone who likes to steam everything until it's pristine and wash my clothes (even jeans) more than I should, I'm not one for high-maintenance items. So in my head, specialist clean-only suede got a no from me. That's until I saw this Mango chocolatey brown real suedejacket that became my entire autumn personality. I would say I ended up wearing it about 3 or 4 times a week, so much so, at a few work events people would comment, "ah, you're wearing that amazing Mango jacket, again" and "you've reminded me to get that jacket, it's so good". I even had a few people track it down online and buy it there and then. It was by far my most complimented item of 2024, and you bet I'll be digging it back out to see another season.

So you can imagine my excitement when I headed to the Mango 'new in' section to see not one, but two new colours of my beloved suede style – and the new khaki and black are currently, as I type, still available in all sizes XXS-XXL. The chocolate brown didn't take long to go viral on Titkok, though, soon selling out, so you'll have to be quick to get this dream jacket the second time round.

When it comes to sizing, I'm a UK 10, and I chose to get it in a large. A medium would have also worked but I wanted to make sure I could wear it over layers throughoutautumn and winter. And I also liked the way it looked more fitted when done up as a top and slightly more oversized when worn open.

So how did I get over the how to clean a suede jacket hurdle? To keep suede (I also love this Massimo Dutti style) looking its best, if there's ever any signs of dirt or marks, I use a soft suede brush to gently buff them out rather than getting it wet. Which leads me to the most important tip: don't wear it in the rain. There's nothing that ruins real suede more than an unexpected downpour, so either keep it at home or take an extra coat – trust me, it'll never be the same after it's soaked.

When it comes to ways to style this particular Mango jacket, I've worn mine my with everything from chinos to mini skirts, but I also love how the likes of @carlabelleeee has worn hers with an all-black look. See, black and brown do work together.

I still think this is the best suede jacket around, so instead of showing you more, here's some of the best new in Mango pieces I also have on my wish list after spotting them on my search to buy the khaki and black iteration. And there's everything from suede loafers to the leopard print scarf blouse I know will go viral next.
