FW15 Trend: 70s Suede

This season, AW15 for those of us living in real time, suede is going to be big. In fact, not just big but BIG. It goes hand in hand with another huge trend coming our way, the 70s, which means you get 2 hits for the price of 1. I'm excited to finally have an accessible trend, at an accessible price point, to be able to get in on. I mean, as much as facial jewellery and black lipstick looked great at Givenchy and Giles it's hardly a user friendly look.

Suede on the other hand.. Suede is something I can definitely get on board with. As long as you stay away from the super cheap pieces you're onto a winner, and the high street is so good for this trend you don't even need the runway.

Zara £49.99

I love this dress. So simple but the deep burgundy colour kicks it up a notch- wear with bare arms and legs to a party at night now, and with a black poloneck and tights for day in the winter. Winner in my book.

ASOS £85

This is a slightly different take on suede, not so hand-in-hand with the 70s but on trend nonetheless. The pinafore front means you can dress it down with a tee at weekends, or up with a pussybow shirt for the week.

Topshop £75

A classic button down a-line skirt in butter soft suede. What more could you want? Oh yea, it also comes in dreamy pastel green. Don't be put off by the colour, it'll go with tan, black and navy- all the staples of a winter wardrobe.

New Look £99.99

The tan suede car coat, an instant classic and screams on trend yet not a slave to fashion. This has been featured in every magazine from Stylist to Elle- a great coat for an excellent price point. Oh, and it comes in black too! 

If you're not 100% sold on the practicalities of a suede studded wardrobe, maybe consider dipping a toe in via accessories? A suede bag in any form looks mega luxe and needn't be a massive investment. Just remember to stay clear of the rain!
