The suede jacket returns for Spring Summer 2019
From Paul Newman to Ryan Gosling, the suede jacket is a symbol of discreet elegance that holds on to comfort like a winner
Nothing more stylish than a suede jacket and an Elvis-inspired quiff. So, for Spring Summer 2019, a neo-vintage staple is back in style to evoke the sought-after elegant yet still sober approach.
The look plays on a classic garment, the suede jacket, which becomes the ideal piece for the freedom-loving guys: already sported by movie stars like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen and rocked by contemporary idols like Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling.
Practicality and refinement, class and comfort. These qualities are what render the suede jacket one of the ultimate must-haves of the upcoming men's fashion season. Green light for toasty tones, such as the intense burnt-caramel or the different shades of sandy deserts, which blend well with neutral or natural colors. This is why the suede jacket moves away from the rock-like patterns, which represent the most traditional leather jacket, and instead, go for an intellectual, colonial or western mood, depending on the accessories.
The bomber jacket – a typical '70s classic – is revisited by the stylists to obtain a more modern allure: fitted, long up to the side and a thin zip that closes the jacket up to the collar.
When it comes to suede leather jackets, however, we should keep in mind the 'sensory' factor that sometimes can even surpass the aesthetic one: the softness of the suede. It is indeed a pleasure to touch and caress it, as well as to wear it.
