Suede is one of my absolute favourite trends for summer. It is coming back in a huge way, right in time for music festival season! I think that with such a bold trend, less is definitely more. I love to pair a suede skirt with a plain white t-shirt and sneakers, or a suede crop top with my favourite boyfriend jeans and slides. Many pieces can also carry through into fall as they often come in deep browns and greens, and a great pair of booties can always be incorporated into your wardrobe. This trend is really great if you plan on heading to any festivals because it looks very relaxed and seventies-inspired. While there are plenty of beautiful, authentic suede pieces available, many shops do a great job with faux-suede as well (TopShop is my personal favourite for this).
