What do you associate with luxury during the fall? Most might think of those “exuberant” everyday purchases (e.g., the overpriced pumpkin spice latte), but that’s not what comes to mind for fashion people. Frankly, a cup of coffee can’t be compared to the extravagant feeling of slipping into a fall staple made from quality materials. Cashmere? It’s cozier than any cup of cider. Wool? Without a doubt, it is worth every penny. And then, there’s the fall textile that’s arguably the bougiest of them all: suede. The sumptuous material has managed to live in the minds of the fashion crowd rent-free because it’s far more supple than leather and, frankly, a bit more sophisticated. Furthermore, suede textiles are used in fall collections almost every season—including, more recently, in Chloé, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Miu Miu’s F/W 24 runway shows.
In short, suede is evergreen, sweetheart! However, that doesn’t negate the fact that this trend can be, well, expensive. Genuine suede items not only have high-cost stickers but are tricky to maintain since they stain easily. Therefore, it’s logical that most might consider this trend outside their budget, but luckily, I’m here to prove that rationale otherwise. Contrary to popular belief, you can find cheap suede apparel, shoes, and accessories that are just as chic as their luxury counterparts. In an effort to prove that point, I’ve curated the best affordable suede items for fall under $350. Trust me when I say that these suede fall finds are as decadent as any seasonally-timed beverage (and they’ll last longer, too).
