How to Wear a Suede Jacket: 5 Outfits for Men

A suede jacket sits right between casual and dressed-up. It looks expensive, it gets better with age and it works over almost anything. If you only buy one statement jacket this season, suede is a safe bet. Here is how to wear it.

Which fit to choose

For a streetwear look, go boxy and slightly cropped. A jacket that ends at the hip keeps your legs looking long, especially with baggy or flared jeans. Our Suede Jacket has a relaxed boxy fit, two chest pockets and a soft linen lining, so it layers easily over a hoodie.

Grey or black?

  • Grey suede is the more versatile choice. It works with blue, black and grey denim and with almost every colour of top.
  • Black suede is sharper and more night-out. It is perfect for all-black fits and looks strong against light-wash jeans.

We make it in both: grey and black.

5 suede jacket outfits

1. Suede jacket + white tee + washed jeans

The classic. A white tee, light or mid-wash jeans and clean sneakers. It is simple, but the suede makes it look considered.

2. Suede jacket + hoodie

For colder days, wear a hoodie underneath and pull the hood out over the collar. Grey suede with a black Blanc Hoodie is a strong combination.

3. Suede jacket + flared jeans

Suede and flares share a 70s history, and together they look modern when the rest stays minimal. Try grey suede with grey waxed flare jeans and chunky sneakers.

4. Black on black

A black suede jacket, a black longsleeve and black flared jeans. Texture does the work here, the smooth denim against the soft suede keeps an all-black outfit interesting.

5. Suede over a flannel

Layer an open flannel like the Pearl Flannel under the jacket for a workwear-inspired autumn look.

How to care for suede

  • Brush it regularly with a soft suede brush to keep the nap fresh.
  • Use a suede protector spray before the first wear.
  • If it gets wet, let it dry naturally away from heat, then brush it.
  • Do not put it in the washing machine.
