All about suede shoes

You may have heard the craze about patterned shoes or maybe women adopting men’s loafers. However, there is a new trend that has recently picked up, and that is suede shoes. Here’s what you need to know about them.

Why suede?

Suede used to be big in the 1960s and 70s. Brown suede embodies that boho chic look. Well recently, that look has made a return. Women everywhere want that effortless, laid back style that suede can showcase. Lately, suede has made its way into the shoe game.

What kind of shoes?

A suede shoe is great for the classy-yet-casual look. This material looks amazing for men’s and women’s loafers. In addition, it can add that extra spice to a pair of high heels or flats for the office. It will draw attention to your feet, but not too much.

What do I wear with them?

When it comes to suede shoes, you should try and keep your outfit to a minimum. This footwear is already a statement piece, so sticking to dark or neutral colored clothing would be a good idea. In addition, pair brown suede with white and turquoise to look breezy, bohemian and put together.

Things to remember

Suede has a tendency to get dirty very easily. Because of that, try and avoid wearing these shoes out where you’ll run into water, snow dirt or grass. Stains can be hard to get out, and the last thing you want is to dirty up your shoes. Also, consider getting a protectant spray for shoes. This can help repel water by shedding it off the surface of the fabric. The material still stays breathable and clean, so it looks good as new for a long time.
