This season, suede can be seen quite often: magazines are full of an abundance of brown suede jackets, and fashion shows offer various styles: from a universal classic coat to country robes.
Suede is a soft and flexible material, which allows you to cut jackets of any style from it. A suede jacket can make an image sophisticated and aristocratic, or emphatically brutal.
Despite the variety of styles, men's suede jackets can be divided into 2 groups. Based on the style, jackets can be semi-formal, these include elongated jackets, coats and cardigans. The second group is rough military models, such as pea coats and bombers. Turning to the classics, several interesting models should be highlighted. A suede biker jacket does not look as rough as a leather version of this style. Cowboy jackets are quite popular, it is better to choose a beige or light brown color. Such a jacket will look restrained and bold at the same time. It can be worn with jeans and light, sports boots.
Rules for choosing a jacket
When choosing a men's suede jacket, you should start from several universal rules. For example, the height of the man: the taller the representative of the stronger sex, the shorter the jacket can be. Slender men will suit elongated styles, coats. The next criterion will be the availability of personal transport. It will be comfortable to drive in a short, loose jacket, but in the winter frost you will want something longer.
Finally, your usual clothing style and lifestyle should also influence your choice.
Office workers will suit strict, restrained styles, and athletes and lovers of free style bombers and pea coats. It is worth considering what prevails in the wardrobe: jeans and sneakers or classic suits. Based on the usual style, the jacket should be chosen in such a way that it matches the rest of the clothes.
Combining a men's jacket with other wardrobe items
It is not difficult to combine wardrobe elements with a suede jacket. Casual style implies polo shirts and wool trousers. You can wear a knitted scarf and hat, and choose shoes to match the jacket. A suede jacket looks good with jeans. Moreover, if the jacket is in a classic version, you should choose jeans of the same style: plain, dark, simple cut. And a sporty style allows you to buy ripped or tapered jeans of any color. The only limitation is sneakers and trainers: stylists unanimously say that you should not wear such comfortable shoes with a suede jacket.
Helpful tips for caring for suede
Suede is quite capricious in use. For example, autumn or spring jackets can be damaged when in contact with water, so you should not go out in the rain in suede. Winter options provide a special protective layer that protects the material from water. You will have to buy a special cleaning brush for the jacket, since a standard clothes brush will be useless here. You cannot iron the item, it is better to use a steamer. Finally, if the fabric has faded in some places, you should treat it with a special solution to match the jacket. For example, you can buy a suede coloring spray in the store. And use suede protective sprays more often.
