After months of lightweight linen, cotton and technical fabrics, there's something deeply satisfying about slipping into a material with a little more substance and texture. Suede is soft, rich and just rugged enough to make even the simplest outfit feel more masculine. And while suede never really goes out of style, there’s something about those warm shades of tobacco, chocolate and caramel that feels particularly right when the leaves start changing.

Of course, a great suede blouson is always a solid investment, but we’re particularly drawn to the lighter, more versatile suede shirt jackets showing up this season. Take Buck Mason’s Western-inspired version, with its buttery sheepskin suede and pearl snap buttons. It’s got just enough rugged character to make an outfit interesting without trying too hard. Wear it open over a substantial tee or fine-gauge knit, add some relaxed denim or pleated trousers and finish with sturdy boots. It's an easy way to bring some warmth and texture into your fall wardrobe without piling on the layers.
