Re: I am seeing a lot of faux suede

When did it go away?  I see a lot of faux suede every fall season.

 

I bought a pair of gorgeous Joan Rivers faux suede slim ankle pants last year.  Received a lot of compliments.

 

I see HSN's TS is IMAN's faux suede jacket.  Not my style; I'll pass on that.

Faux suede IMO never left, but it has improved greatly. Just like faux leather. I love wearing it and picked up 2 IM faux suede skirts on a clearance sale price yesterday for $25ea, one in black and the other dark navy. I would not buy a real suede navy skirt and would have just stuck to black, but being faux and for the price, I could not resist.  I too have some faux suede riding boots by Marc Fisher and IM, and have worn them for years.

@Caaareful Shopper if I still worked, I probably would have been interested in the Iman TS, but I don't, so I'm not.  I recorded last night's shows so am going to fast forward through those in a bit.

I wear what I like and I just purchased a faux suede dress and I look forward to wearing it.

Faux suede has been alive and well for a long time, as the process evolved over the years the quality has gotten extremely good.

 

I brought faux suede pants from Colleen and Linea pants and jackets different colors. I still have my suede items from years ago but hardly wear them.

I have a few faux suede and real, but prefer smooth.

It's not a trend but rather a common perennial fall and winter fabric.

Re: I am seeing a lot of faux suede

According to trend reports, the big trend this fall and winter is for liquid like smooth leather jackets and other pieces. That being said, I think suede is a classic in cold weather. I had a suede jacket and skirt many years ago. I wouldn't mind having something in suede again. 

Enjoy the Weekend!

Re: I am seeing a lot of faux suede

Seems like it's back this year.  Not that it every went totally away but I'm seeing it everywhere at all price points.  I bought a faux suede fringe jacket from Shophq last fall.  It's outerwear, not a blazer.  It looks exactly like real suede.  I think that's all the faux suede I need.
