It's True: The Best (Real) Suede Finds of the Season Are From Zara, Mango, and More

While a quick Google search for suede jackets can easily bring up endless results in the thousands-dollar-and-up range, I'm here to tell you based on years of shopping experience that you don't need to spend anything close to that in order to find something you love. And yes, I mean real suede and no it doesn't stop at jackets. Whether you're in the market for outerwear, a bag, boots, loafers, and more, real suede is one of those materials that you can always find on the more affordable side—without sacrificing quality. In fact, one of my oldest, favorite jackets is a Zara suede piece and one of my new favorite jackets (seen styled on me at New York Fashion Week above) is also a Zara suede piece. To further drive home my point, today I've rounded up the best suede pieces this fall has to offer so far, all of which are under $550 but most of which are well below that number! To see what made my edit, simply keep scrolling.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
