It wasn't until recently that I realized suede isn't just a fall and winter fabric. This luxe material is making a warm-weather comeback—especially in the form of suede sandals, which are popping up everywhere from Mango to Madewell to Reformation. Even fashion icons like the effortlessly chic Zoë Kravitz are embracing the trend.
While strolling through New York City last week, Kravitz styled a lavender lace-trimmed minidress with a baseball cap and a raffia tote. On her feet? The Row's suede Hugh Slides—a subtle yet sophisticated choice that added a polished, grown-up edge to her otherwise breezy, playful look.
