Brown Suede Skirts Are Suddenly Everywhere—These Are the Best Ones to Buy Now

Unless it’s part of a carefully orchestrated marketing moment, you’ll rarely see the exact same piece worn en masse by fashion week’s most seasoned street style stars. And yet, in recent seasons, brown suede skirts have managed just that—cropping up in every conceivable iteration on those famed for their fashion fluency.

Softer than leather yet more directional than wool, suede sits in that sweet spot between polished and undone, which goes a long way in explaining its appeal. We’ve watched suede boots, jackets, trench coats and handbags steadily climb the ranks in recent months, but now it’s the skirt stepping into the spotlight, and there’s no shortage of styles to choose from.

Rich tobacco and deep chocolate shades feel inherently timeless, and polished enough for the office when cut in clean, midi silhouettes. Meanwhile, shorter hemlines, lighter caramels and the occasional thigh-high slit shift suede firmly into weekend territory. Although each iteration pairs seamlessly with knee-high boots or ballet flats, fine knits or structured shirting.
