Chicer Than Leather, Cooler Than Wool—This is the Elegant Skirt Trend Fashion People Are Wearing Right Now
All of the chicest dressers I know are shopping for brown suede skirts right now. Click through to discover the styles I recommend here.
Every so often, a trend comes along that makes me wonder how I ever managed without it. Brown suede skirts are such a trend. Whilst I’m calling it a trend—shopping platform LTK reports a +600% week-on-week surge in searches—this is one piece that feels far more enduring than a fleeting fashion moment.
Cut from the season’s most coveted fabrication, suede brings an innate sense of luxury to rich, earthy hues. The combination of which results in a beautifully tactile skirt that feels polished yet unfussy.
Whilst shoppers are searching for the elegant designs right now, influencers are in the habit of weaving the timeless garment into their winter rotations—wearing them with everything from glossy leather layers for contrast to plush knits for a softer, tonal look. Versatile and inherently chic, these combinations strike the balance between structure and ease.
Catering to the growing interest, brands have been swift to offer up compelling iterations. From Jigsaw's chocolatey midi to Free People's knee-grazing caramel style, the options are pleasing and plenty.
