Suede jackets have become one of the most popular outerwear styles this season, and Jennifer Lawrence's latest outfit confirms that this trend is worth investing in. Spotted in New York last week, she wore a long brown suede coat as she ran errands – a staple that makes the chicest finishing touch to any autumn outfit.

Supple suede coats and jackets are everywhere; their durable and heavy texture makes them a great fit for layering up in the cold. Seen as a key autumn/winter fashion trend 2026, suede jackets are being released in a range of silhouettes, from bomber styles to long trench coats in the fabric.

She paired the long suede coat with navy wide-leg trousers and white Dior Ribbon trainers, swapping them out for her usual go-to, adidas Toykos. Underneath, she wears a red plaid shirt and layers up with a velvety pink scarf for a pop of colour. She also carries a large brown tote by The Row.
