Suede is having a moment right now. Arguably always in style, if you’ve been following the street style set at fashion weeks across the world, you’ll know there’s been something of a resurgence recently.
While a suede jacket is the look du jour, don’t sleep on the accessories. Frankie Bridge wore some suede-look boots in her style round-up this week, and they looked amazing worn with a boho blouse from Mango and a pair of Mint Velvet wide-leg jeans.
The boots are from H&M and I was shocked at how low the price was. They’re made from faux suede but with their ankle length, pointed toe and stiletto heel, they remind me of several designer styles.
Retailing for just £32.99/$34.99 in the sale, they’re available in UK sizes 2-9 (and they’ve almost sold out in the US). Meanwhile, Aquazzura’s Matignon Boots look very similar but would set you back £950/$1,250. The royal-approved luxury footwear brand is loved by both Princess Kate and Meghan Markle.
If your budget is between H&M and Aquazzura, I’ve also found these real suede boots from Reformation. The Rae Ankle Boots have a more practical, slightly thicker heel and are designed to have a relaxed fit. They retail for £378/$378 and look amazing with straight-leg jeans.
This isn’t the first time Frankie has championed trending suede this season. The mum-of-two also added a beautiful tote bag from Marks & Spencer’s Autograph collection to her most-loved items.
The luxe tote is made from 100% suede leather and features a magnet fastening, as well as smooth top-handle straps. It comes complete with a zipped interior pocket for your valuable items. The large size makes it the perfect finishing touch to your office outfits as it could easily fit a laptop inside, but it’s also suitable to use as an everyday handbag.
If you’re looking for more suede accessories, she also included this real suede belt from Mango in her most-loved list. Wear it with boho white dresses or denim to add a western edge to your autumn ensembles.
