By now you know that the ’70s is trending in a super major way, thanks to runway shows like Gucci and street style mavens like our gal Olivia Palermo. And one of the cornerstones of the ’70s resurgence is most definitely suede. What was once seen as a cheap, shapeless, and icky-colored fabric is now the hottest thing you can rock this winter — and well into spring! Take a peek at our favorite ways to rock suede.

Skirt

This patchwork skirt from LaMarque takes that totally hippie vibe and turns it on its head to become a more streamlined, polished look. Pair it with a simple turtleneck and over the knee boot and add funky accessories like a drawstring crossbody bag and large resin necklace and you’re all set for the workday.

Tunic

We love a layering piece and we love Vince, so what better way to pair them together than with this navy suede tunic? When put together with some leather look leggings and an embellished jacket, you’ve got a stylish night out in your future. Add sensible but fashionable booties and a textured clutch to score some glances of approval.

Dress

This dress is a little ’70s and a little mod, but we love it anyway for an inspired date night. The wedge pumps are a fun alternative to both booties and pumps, and the tights give your gams an extra oomph. Throw on some sparkle near your face and a cozy teddy bear jacket and you’re ready to rock any restaurant.

Pants

Have you ever seen a pair of suede(like) pants look so good? Kudos to H&M as always for being our $$ saving saviors. We love a lighter look here for daytime with a cream pullover and leopard flats and a complimenting but not matchy grey tasseled bag. A simple hint of glint in a rose-gold bracelet tops the understated look off.

Jacket

Suede. Fringe. Studs. What could be more ’70s? Pair this stunner of a jacket with a poppy printed dress, sculptural ankle bootie, and gunmetal and grey accessories for any sort of occasion where you want to wow in the best way possible. Keep on rockin!
