Men’s fall 2021: Suede Jacket Style Guide

about the style guide:

We were recently delighted to read that San Miguel de Allende was listed number 1 city in the world according to the Travel+Leisure Worlds Best Awards but also noted that of the Top 15 Cities in the United States: Charleston, South Carolina was voted Number 1 for the 9th year in a row. In honor of the rich hues and colors one can find in Charleston during fall we curated the Men’s Fall 2021: Suede Jacket Style Guide with looks inspired by fall in the city. Let’s begin:

Making your suede stand out:

Your fall style should use understated vibrancy to bring a subtle pop of color to the new season. Additionally, your fall wardrobe needs looks that effortlessly transition between temperatures in order to pair functionality with finesse; this makes a suede jacket the staple for fall menswear. Here are some additional criteria that formed the rubric to this guide:

When should a suede jacket be worn?

  • Spring/Fall in temperatures between 50-70°F

  • Clear Forecast free of rain or snow.

  • Semi-Formal to casual occasions.

Runway shows to inspire your fall Menswear look:

  • Riccardo Tisci’s bold statement stand-alone Burberry debut.

  • The unstructured luxe-leisure of the Hermés digital show.

  • Modern takes on vintage tailoring from Tom Ford’s editorial show.

Through these inspirations, we curated luxury looks that will make your season stand out.
