When certain classics become trendy—in this case, the best suede jackets for women—there can be a tendency to treat them as disposable. But make no mistake: While the leather coats are enjoying a moment, they’re just as timeless as trench coats and barn jackets, which are also trending for fall.

After appearing on this season’s Miu Miu and Bottega Veneta runways, among other labels, suede outerwear is enjoying a bigger autumn than usual. (Car coats and overshirts are particularly popular among high-end brands and the street-style set right now, as are brown suede jackets.) The suede styling of the moment leans classic and slightly preppy—think loose trousers or sweaterdresses paired with button-down shirts—gesturing at the material’s workwear past while still projecting a sense of luxury.

Ready to hop on the trend and invest in a piece that’ll stay relevant for years to come? Shop the absolute best suede coats for women in our seasonal edit, which is filled with fall jacket brands Glamour editors love. (To ensure your pick lasts as long as possible, you should also invest in waterproofing; take your pick to your dry cleaner or pick up a protectant spray to keep it fresh.)

Amazon

Yep, you can find genuine suede on Amazon. BGSD’s all-leather jacket has earned hundreds of rave reviews: “Great quality. Beautiful leather. Exceeded expectations. It runs a little big, but that’s good for layering,” one reviewer writes. You can pair it with mid-blue jeans and black booties—perfection. Plus, it’s available in petite and dedicated plus sizes.

Madewell

Cowboys got it right—the best way to look cool when you’re dressing up is to pull on a suede blazer. Madewell’s sub-$500 gem has earned rave reviews for its luxe feel and perfectly oversized fit. Style it with a button-down and straight-leg jeans, to lean into preppy style; go for flared trousers and a white T-shirt to nod at the piece’s Western roots.

Zappos

Nothing projects luxury as much as a suede trench coat. While you can find real leather trenches on the market, they’re often prohibitively expensive—and that’s where this faux-suede pick from Avec Les Filles comes in. Pair it with straight jeans with pumps or pointed fall boots peeking out; you’ll look like an off-duty supermodel at fashion week.

Reformation

Reformation’s soft, thick suede jacket offers almost exactly the same look as our favorite runway looks of the season. It’s not exactly cheap, but it’s still more affordable than what you’d pay for, say, Prada or Loewe. And the oversized fit reads vintage in the best way.

Amazon

If you don’t want to splurge on suede or nubuck, microsuede is the next best option. This on-trend pick, available in classic light brown and more out-there colors like light pink, offers the same slip pockets and prim collar as true leather jackets, but at a much lower price.

Free People

This vintage-inspired, effortlessly cool layer from Free People has all the makings of a hero piece: a unique design, luxurious materials, and timeless good looks. You’ll be on trend now, sure, but you’ll want to wear this pick years from now, too.

Nordstrom

Legendary New York-based label Schott is best known for its leather biker jackets, and this classic style features all the same craftsmanship and durability as its motos. Rendered in the perfect shade of caramel and easy to style with just about anything in your closet, this is a true American wardrobe staple.

J. Crew

Although this is technically a men’s suede jacket, it’s too good not to include; it’s an on-trend barn coat rendered in textured leather. (Thankfully, the crop is on par with a women’s piece.) Style it with loose jeans or trousers for a borrowed-from-the-boys look—or juxtapose it with your most romantic fall dresses.

Mango

While it could totally pass for Chloé or Isabel Marant, this studded suede number is from Mango (not that we’re complaining). Studs are having a major moment right now, and we love that this pick offers just the right look without requiring you to spend hours scrolling through eBay for a vintage lookalike. Splurge—it’s worth it.

Free People

Available in slightly unexpected hues like forest green, electric blue, and rich navy, this high-quality suede layer is right for anyone who won’t settle for just any jacket style. “It is slightly oversized but adds just the right amount of drape. It looks very expensive (I guess it is) and definitely will become an heirloom jacket,” one Free People reviewer writes.

Anthropologie

Crafted from realistic-looking faux suede, this retro blazer is an ideal finishing piece for working women. The cut is both chic and professional, while the sueded polyester (in rich red and chocolate brown) adds some welcome texture to any outfit in need of personality.

Free People

Contrasting a classic moto silhouette with the sweetest shade of pink, this fitted jacket looks like a once-in-a-lifetime thrift store find. Lean feminine with your styling; pleated skirts and textured dresses work perfectly. (Just make sure you use some suede protector spray if you plan to use it as a biker would.)

Coach

This is another menswear piece, but in name only; anyone can get in on the appeal of this layer, which is essentially a jean jacket rendered in suede. (Coach knows its way around leather, after all.) We’d love to see it over a thin sweater and a full skirt for your next dressed-up outing.

Massimo Dutti

Massimo Dutti’s take on the suede jacket of the season is deliciously cropped and dyed a deep olive green. Style it with a button-down, loose trousers, and leather loafers for an outfit that works for virtually any occasion.

Gant

A true investment piece, this heirloom-quality find from Gant gestures heavily at Americana with a notch collar, four exterior pockets, and heavy-duty suede. Start here if you’re looking to invest in something you’ll wear for decades to come.
