Best brown suede boots
If you’re in the market for a wear-with-anything boot that dresses up and down with ease, you can’t go wrong with a pair of brown suede boots. Chestnut, chocolate, umber—in these deep shades, suede’s supple texture brings dimension to otherwise simple outfits, such as jeans and a winter coat. With rounded toes and block heels, some of these pairs boast the ’70s vibe that’s having a moment right now; others bring classic silhouettes, like riding boots and Chelsea booties, into 2025 with slimmer profiles. But all of them have the potential to become the most versatile pair in your arsenal.
Best suede knee-high boots
The true definition of a closet staple, suede knee-high boots are bound to pull their weight in your wardrobe. Cigarette jeans or winter tights and A-line skirts are the most obvious pairing options this time of year, but there are plenty more outfit ideas to consider. Why not try one of our new favorite styling hacks by wearing a pair of tall boots with culottes to play off the cropped hemline?
Best suede kitten-heel boots
Few options top a suede kitten-heel boot this time of year; what else can you wear to the office, brunch, and a dinner date? From trendy slanted heels to classic short stilettos that will take you from desk to drinks, these pairs’ wearability alone will have you reaching for them over and over again. Apart from being walking-friendly enough for commuting to and from the office, the relatively comfortable heel also gives your denim, maxidresses, and trousers a little lift, keeping hems from dragging.
Best suede ankle boots
Between the shorter height and the super-soft material, the suede ankle boot has an especially versatile shape that will help you navigate even the gravest weather conditions with grace. The picks from Everlane and J.Crew lean more Parisian, while Western accents like buckles and straps offer a take on the trend that you can wear every day. Styling these suede boots is easy; they all tuck easily under straight-leg jeans or wide-leg trousers, poking out to make a subtle statement without overpowering your outfit.
Best suede block-heel boots
Not every pair of boots can help you achieve your daily step count—but the stacked, chunky heels here are built for it, making these picks some of the most wearable options on the market. Touted as the heel to wear when you don’t really feel like wearing heels, this stable design provides ample support without sacrificing style. Each of these picks, from Ugg’s cozy-cute pair to French-girl brand Sézane’s cowboy-inspired style, is perfect for your next city day.
