Grey skies have settled over London, and in the blink of an eye, my thoughts have completely shifted to autumn. Whilst there are warmer days on the horizon, my light cottons and airy linens alone won’t cut it when the unpredictable British weather quickly shifts from hot to cold. Somehow, Zara always seems to predict exactly what my wardrobe needs, and as I pulled on a jumper this morning after months of bare arms, I noticed that the high street hero simultaneously dropped a refined edit of autumn’s most premium-looking trend: suede.
Textural updates are one of the most defining marks of autumn’s imminent arrival. For the coolest days, cosy cashmeres and heavy knits come into play, but the fabric that eases the gap between light summer cottons and the warmest materials is luxe-looking suede.
Zara knows that we’re still in the midst of summer, despite the cooler days, and that’s why it’s taken a very specific approach to introducing suede back into our wardrobes. Classic silhouettes and design details have been relied upon to ensure a timeless feel to each of the designs. But notably, alongside the understated neutral shades we’d expect comes a wash of bolder colours to bring that summer feeling. Cobalt blues, red accents and sunny yellows are just some of the joyful injections of colour that Zara is backing this season.
For me, the highlights are the jackets. From trench coats to blazers, I can already picture these elevated suede pieces layering well with my hard-working linen pieces. Alongside are more unexpected offerings, from relaxed tops to smart trousers, pieces I wouldn’t have thought of but have seriously piqued my interest. Naturally, there’s a standout series of exquisite accessories from handbags to autumn-ready boots that all focus on reliable silhouettes, now with a fresh suede update. The collection also focuses on quality, with 100% leather suede running throughout.
