How to Wear Suede
Suede is the reverse side of leather. The material has a nap finish that is soft and full of texture. This fabric continues to be fashionable. It's also a good choice for affordable and classic pieces for your wardrobe.
Things You'll Need:
Leather spray protectant
Step
1
Shop for your new suede wear or dig out your old garments from your closet. Before wearing suede, protect the garment immediately with a leather spray protectant to help repel stains and water.
Step
2
Pair tall, mid-calf to knee-high suede boots with leggings or tights and wear with a short to mid-length skirt or dress for a trendy and sophisticated look. Pair the same boots with slacks for a completely different look.
Step
3
Wear a suede skirt the way you would wear a corduroy, denim or leather skirt. Mix textures and color shades for a hip look or blend textures and colors together for a more classic outfit. Shop for suede skirts with cutouts, scallops or a flared cut.
Step
4
Mix a suede jacket into your wardrobe for both work and play. Wear the jacket with a collared shirt or sweater and khakis for a more formal look, or pair with jeans if you want to go casual. Match your shoes to the jacket or shirt you wear and add a handbag of your choice, varying textures and shades.
Step
5
Look for an extra built-in lining if you need your suede garments to be warmer for the winter months. Suede is the same weight no matter what the season, so you can wear it year-round if you pair it with seasonally appropriate items. Wearing flip-flops with your suede skirt in the summer and boots in the winter is just one way to stretch your wardrobe.
Step
6
Store suede items in cloth or tissue paper in a dark and dry place.
Tips & Warnings
Look for microsuede or ultrasuede, a fiber version of suede, as an alternative to the animal product. You can find microsuede in upholstery, as a soft stainless fabric covering couches and chairs, as well as in clothing, shoes and accessories.
Avoid wearing suede in heavy rain. Even if you spray a protectant on your garments, you run the risk of ruining them in a downpour.
Don't store suede in plastic or in a damp area as this restricts the garment's ability to breathe and may cause mold or mildew to grow.
