Suede is having a moment right now. Arguably always on trend, whether you've been following the street style set or scrolling Instagram, you'll know there's been a resurgence recently. While a suede jacket is the look du jour, don't sleep on the accessories. Frankie Bridge wore some suede ankle boots in her style round-up this week, and they looked amazing worn with a check scarf coat and a slouchy suede shoulder bag. This might have finally been my turning point for autumn outfit excitement.
- Frankie Bridge wore a pair of designer-look suede ankle boots from River Island in this week's Faves The Edit
- They're very similar to more expensive pairs by Staud and Mint Velvet
- She completed the look with a scarf coat and a suede shoulder bag, both also from River Island
The boots are from River Island and I'm shocked at how affordable they are. They're made from real suede, and with their ankle length, pointed toe and stiletto heel, they remind me of several designer styles.
They look so good with dark denim, as demonstrated by Frankie, but they're so versatile as you can also wear them with white or black, and this includes midi skirts.
Retailing for just £66, they're available in UK sizes 2-9 and they also come in Wide-Fit so you know you can find a pair that's super comfortable.
Meanwhile, Staud's Wally Boots look very similar but would set you back £380. The royal-approved designer label is also loved by Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.
If your budget is between River Island and Staud, I've found these real suede boots from Mint Velvet. The Macy Suede Boots have a more practical, slightly thicker heel. They retail for £150 and look amazing with straight-leg jeans.
I think Frankie fans will be equally obsessed with her incredible coat, which comes with a detachable scarf - a feature previously worn by Meghan Markle. Sharing her look on Instagram, she captioned the post: "When I tell you the @favesthedit team have lost it over this coat! We just couldn't believe it was from River Island as it looks so so expensive. It adds immediate chic factor and we love the removable scarf because you can style it as a whole different look."
Handmade from a wool-blend fabric, it also features long sleeves, pockets, and a self-tie belt. It retails for £179 and is available in UK sizes 6-18.
