Suede is one of those textures that immediately makes me think fall, which is why the Leone Suede Mini Dress is such a good September piece. You get all that rich texture and seasonal feeling without having to wait for sweater weather.
I love the simplicity of the silhouette because it lets the suede be the statement. Wear it with flats or loafers while it's still warm, then bring in tall boots and a jacket later in the season.
Why I Love It
Suede instantly gives an outfit a fall feel
Perfect for transitional September weather
Simple silhouette lets the texture stand out
Easy with ballet flats, loafers or boots
Looks beautiful with chocolate brown, cream and gold accessories
Can easily transition from daytime to dinner
Dear Lucy Edit
If there's one fabric that makes me ready for fall, it's suede. 🤎
What I love about this dress is that you don't have to wait until it's actually cold outside to wear it.
For September, I'd pair it with a ballet flat or loafer + a great bag and gold jewelry. Once the temperature finally drops, add tall boots and a jacket.
It's exactly what transitional dressing should be: fall without the layers.
