When it comes to fall fashion, textures are everything. They add dimension, richness, and a cozy-yet-polished feel to your wardrobe. This season is all about mixing and matching fabrics like suede, corduroy, leather, and denim to create looks that feel both fresh and timeless. Whether you’re reaching for a classic barn jacket with a corduroy collar or experimenting with a leather dress, fall textures give your outfits a stylish edge.


Suede Staples

Suede is one of fall’s most loved fabrics - soft to the touch and instantly chic. Brown suede dresses are a go-to for this time of year, pairing perfectly with tall boots and gold jewelry. Suede purses are another must-have accessory, adding just the right amount of warmth and sophistication to your outfit. For a casual take, style a suede moto jacket over your favorite jeans and tee.

Corduroy Comeback

Corduroy is making a strong return this fall, especially in outerwear and pants. A barn jacket with a corduroy collar is a timeless piece that’s both functional and stylish, perfect for layering over sweaters and dresses. Corduroy skirts and wide-leg pants also bring vintage-inspired charm to your look - pair them with a fitted top or cropped sweater to balance out the texture.

Leather Luxe

Leather isn’t just for jackets anymore. This fall, we’re seeing leather dresses, skirts, and pants take center stage. A leather mini skirt styled with a sweater tank creates a trendy transition outfit, while a leather dress in rich brown or black makes a statement for night outings. Leather bottoms paired with oversized knits or sleek blouses give you an edgy, fashion-forward vibe that’s perfect for the cooler months.

Denim Favorites

Denim continues to be a year-round staple, but fall brings new twists. A denim dress is easy to style for work or weekend - try one in animal print for something bold, or stick to classic blue washes for versatility. Pair denim with suede or leather pieces to mix textures and elevate your look. Don’t forget dark-wash denim jeans, which are essential for cozy fall styling.

Styling Tips for Fall Textures

  • Mix structured fabrics like leather with soft ones like knits for balance.

  • Stick to rich fall tones - browns, deep greens, burgundy, and navy - to highlight the texture.

  • Layer textures together - try a suede jacket over a knit sweater, or a corduroy skirt with a silky blouse.


FAQs About Fall Textures in Women’s Clothing

  • How do you care for suede pieces?
    Suede is delicate, so avoid water and store pieces in a cool, dry place. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt or scuffs, and consider a suede-protectant spray to keep your items looking fresh.
  • Can you mix leather with other fabrics?
    Yes! Leather pairs beautifully with softer textures like knits, suede, or even silk. For example, wear a leather skirt with an oversized sweater or a leather dress with a denim jacket for balanced styling.
  • How do you care for faux leather?
    Faux leather is easy to maintain - just wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid direct heat and store it away from sunlight to prevent cracking or fading.
