With their soft, velvety finish and range of rich colors, suede skirts make any outfit look luxe.
I’ll never forget the first suede skirt I purchased years ago on a trip to Italy.
I was wandering the streets of Florence and ducked into a tiny boutique, drawn in by a beautiful burnt orange midi skirt in the window.
I had to have it, and it quickly became my favorite statement piece that season. I wore it constantly, dressed up or down.
The compliments poured in every time I put it on. I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve curated quite the suede skirt collection in different lengths, colors and styles. I love how suede skirts can transition seamlessly from season to season.
In winter, I layer them over tights and boots.
Come spring and summer, they look amazing with a simple tee or tank and sandals. And for fall, I style them with oversized sweaters and booties.
If you’re looking for new ways to wear suede skirts this season, look no further.
Below I’m sharing some of my favorite suede skirt outfit ideas that are sure to inspire stunning looks for any occasion.
The Classic Workwear Look
A suede pencil skirt is the perfect piece to build a polished work ensemble.
For an timeless, sophisticated look, pair a fitted suede skirt in a neutral color with a crisp button-down shirt.
Add heels and a blazer for the office, or wear with flats or loafers for an off-duty weekend vibe.
I especially love the contrast of textures between a fluid silk blouse and the rich suede skirt.
Play with different color combinations too, like a light blue or white top with a brown or black skirt.
For colder months, complete the look with opaque tights. This classic pairing works year-round and always looks put-together.
The Romantic Midi
For a date night or special occasion, a midi suede skirt creates a beautifully romantic silhouette.
Pair an a-line or pleated midi skirt in a lighter neutral like tan or grey with a feminine lace bodysuit or cami.
Toss a denim jacket over top for a pop of contrast and add strappy sandals or block heels to finish the flirty look.
Come cooler weather, try the midi skirt with an oversized cable knit sweater and knee-high boots.
I love this pairing worn with a sweater in cream or pastel pink to complement the earthy tones of a brown suede skirt.
No matter the season, this effortlessly chic outfit always makes an entrance.
The Retro Mini
Channel mod 60s style with a playful mini suede skirt. Rich fall hues like chocolate, chestnut or mustard yellow make the biggest impact.
Pair your micro mini with a ribbed turtleneck sweater and over-the-knee boots for a throwback vibe. Come spring, try the mini with a retro-inspired cropped tee, denim jacket and white sneakers or loafers.
You can also give this look a boost of color by pairing a colored mini, like a bright red or emerald green, with a black turtleneck and tights or leggings.
However you style it, a mini suede skirt brings major retro flair to any outfit. Have fun with it!
The Elevated Casual Look
One of my favorite ways to wear a suede skirt is with an oversized pullover and sneakers for an elevated casual look.
A brown suede a-line skirt looks so chic with a slouchy cream sweater and white leather sneakers.
This pairing works year-round and can be dressed up or down seamlessly.
For chillier days, layer a turtleneck underneath your sweater and add tights and ankle boots into the mix. Come warmer weather, go for a relaxed tee or linen button-down with your suede skirt and sneakers.
Finish with a crossbody bag and sunnies for effortless weekend vibes
However you style it, this look masters moderncool comfort.
The Statement Coat Look
Make your suede skirt the foundation for a standout winter ensemble by layering it under a statement coat, like a bold plaid, rich faux fur or brightly colored wool style.
Pairing these eye catching top layers with a neutral suede skirt keeps the look polished.
Some chic coat and skirt combinations I love include a brown suede skirt with black and white buffalo check wool coat or a tan suede skirt with a vibrant red wool coat.
Come fall, layer a corduroy sherpa jacket over your suede skirt and sweater for the perfect cozy-chic contrast. Let your suede skirt peek out beneath your coat to show off the gorgeous texture.
The Moto Chic Look
Bring a touch of moto edge to your suede skirt with a mixed material pairing.
A fitted suede skirt plays perfectly off a slouchy leather moto jacket in black or brown.
For an athletic spin, pair your skirt with a sporty bomber jacket. Finish with heeled booties or ankle boots along with a crossbody bag.
For warmer temps, swap the jacket for a classic white tee or silky camisole layered under a denim jacket with your suede skirt and sneakers.
You can also channel moto chic vibes by pairing your skirt with a black ribbed bodysuit and strappy block heel sandals for night. No matter how you style it, suede and leather instantly create a cool downtown vibe.
The Monochrome Moment
Make a bold statement by wearing suede head-to-toe in a rich neutral hue like chocolate brown, olive green or caramel tan.
Pairing pieces in the same color family creates a striking, streamlined look.
Try pairing a brown mini skirt with a matching brown turtleneck and wide leg pants. Or style a mossy green suede skirt with an oversized olive sweater and green suede booties.
Come summer, go for head-to-toe tan with a suede skirt, bodysuit and strappy heels.
However you wear it, monochrome suede turns heads.
The Preppy Plaid Skirt
Bring preppy charm to your suede skirt by pairing it with fall and winter’s favorite print, plaid.
A brown or black pleated suede skirt looks adorable peeking out from a long buffalo plaid coat
Or try a tan suede a-line mini with an oversized plaid blazer and turtleneck sweater.
For a more playful twist, I love pairing an a-line suede skirt with a plaid button-down shirt, tied at the waist. Finish with loafers or ankle boots for a preppy-chic vibe.
Come spring, wear your suede skirt with a plaid tee or crop top. Plaid and suede is an effortlessly polished pairing.
The Western Wonder
Embrace suede’s western inspirations by pairing your skirt with cowboy-chic layers. A brown suede skirt looks so stylish with a denim button-down shirt and cowgirl boots.
Or try a fitted black suede skirt with a prairie-style peasant top. A fringed suede jacket on top completes the western aesthetic.
Come warmer weather, pair your suede mini or midi skirt with a simple white tee, denim jacket and metallic cowboy booties for trailblazing style.
No matter how you style it, suede and western details like denim, fringe and cowboy boots make the ultimate rustic-chic combination.

Effortless Office Style
For days at the office when I want to look polished yet comfortable, I love this combination:
- Turtleneck sweater
- A-line midi suede skirt

- Leather tote bag
A turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi suede skirt creates a streamlined silhouette perfect for the office.
The sweater provides cozy warmth while the skirt lends movement and style. Loafers or oxfords are walkable yet professional.
Bold earrings show personality. And an organized leather tote carries the workday essentials.
This is my go-to formula for easy office style during the fall and winter. It’s comfortable enough to run between meetings and stylish enough for important presentations.
The a-line suede skirt flatters most figures. And there are so many great turtleneck options – lightweight or chunky, fitted or oversized.
