How To Style a Suede Blazer
Suede blazers are a versatile layering piece that can be worn in countless ways. The fashion pros we polled offered the following inspiration to get you started:
Ladylike layering: "I would suggest pairing it with a skirt that has a solid pattern, a vintage ruffle trim blouse and knee-high boots. Throw in some accessories with a hint of leopard, resin bangles and sunglasses," saysAlison Hernon, a celebrity stylist who has worked with Aubrey Plaza, Julianne Hough, Penn Badgley and others. Suede and denim: "Dark denim with booties is another good approach with a vintage ruffle trim blouse or fitted turtleneck," Hernon says.Suede on suede: "I love suede on suede. Think a cropped jacket paired with straight-leg suede pants, a white tank and a contrasting bag. It's effortlessly cool and cohesive," says celebrity stylist Nora Foley, who has worked with Johnna Dias-Watson, Brad Peyton, Allison Hsu and others. She's also a styling partner with Easton, under the duo name Annie & Nora.Play with color: "I lean into warm tones like chocolate, camel or taupe," Harris says. "But don't be afraid of deeper shades like olive or burgundy. Suede loves natural light, so those tones photograph beautifully."A+ accessories: "Gold jewelry and a structured leather bag always complement the matte finish of suede perfectly," she shares.Keep it simple: "The trick is not to over-style it," she notes. "Let the texture do the talking. A suede blazer already says 'luxury.' You just have to let it breathe."Hot days: "Suede, just like leather, is tough to wear in the summer. It should never be worn in temperatures above 70 degrees," Foley says. Humid days: "I skip it in humid climates. Humidity can cause suede to lose its shape or feel slightly damp, and that takes away its luxurious appeal," Harris says.Wet days: "Moisture is suede’s worst enemy because it can stain or warp the texture permanently," she explains. "Even if you spray it with a protectant, I always tell clients to play it safe and switch to leather or a treated fabric on wet days."Dusty areas: "Another time to avoid suede is in environments that are dusty, dirty or high traffic, like festivals or outdoor events, where it might get scuffed or brushed against rough surfaces," she suggests. "Suede is all about that soft, velvety finish, and once it gets scratched or stained, it can be hard to bring back."

What Kind of Shirt Goes With a Suede Jacket?
Whether you want your suede jacket to be the star of the show or a nice grounding piece, the stylists we spoke to say that you can switch up your look with different shirt options."Pair suede with a relaxed button-down—a la Ralph Lauren—or dress it down with a ribbed tank and a wide-leg trouser or jeans," Easton says.Harris notes that suede jackets are ultra-versatile, meaning the shirt you wear should depend on the vibe you're going for."If you want something elevated and timeless, a crisp white button-down or a silk blouse is always perfect," she tells Parade. "The contrast between the smooth fabric and the soft suede creates that effortless balance that feels very high-end. For a more relaxed or casual vibe, I love pairing a suede jacket with chunky sweaters, cotton tees or plaid flannels."Don't forget to consider the color of the shirt."Warm tones like cream, sand or blush pair beautifully with brown and tan suedes, while cooler tones like gray or black make darker suedes feel more modern," she says.

4. Effortless, yet elevated
Harris calls this outfit "the perfect mix of polished and easy." "The suede blazer gives it that cozy fall vibe, but still feels really elevated. It has structure, but the texture keeps it soft and relaxed," she explains.The addition of wide-leg jeans keeps the look "laid back while still feeling pulled together" and also balances out the blazer so it doesn't feel stuffy or "too formal." Additionally, the printed tie-neck blouse "adds just the right touch of femininity and movement."Shop the look:

Vionic Belmont Ankle Bootie ($47.98, originally $160)Madewell Double-Breasted Blazer in Suede ($548)6. Colored suede
Neutral suedes are arguably more common than bright hues, but a pop of color can take your outfit to a whole new level. Take this look, for example."The baby blue suede blazer instantly feels luxe but still soft. Pairing it with those black dress pants gives it that sleek, dressed-up vibe. The tucked-in white tee keeps it from feeling too serious," Harris shares.The stylist calls the look equal parts "cool and polished" and applauds Katie Holmes' accessory game, too.
