The suede jacket: a timeless piece you’ll have forever
There are certain pieces that your dad, grandpa and great-grandpa have styled and worn over the years. The same pieces are still just as popular and wearable today. These are the sort of clothing items that you just can’t toss out of your wardrobe, no matter how many times you try.
If ever you decide to get rid of them, you’ll find yourself looking to purchase them a short while later when you realize that in fact, they didn’t go out of style like you once thought they did.
The suede jacket is one of those classics that’ll never make its way out of menswear. It’s such a versatile piece with the right amount of edge. It may not be as common as a jean jacket, or a moto leather jacket, but it certainly is a staple in every man’s wardrobe.
Not sure how to style one? We’ll show you, as long as you promise us not to rummage through your dad’s wardrobe and steal his suede jacket.
