Suede for fall? Not the most shocking trend, I know. But there's a good reason this luxurious fabric comes roaring back as the temperatures start to drop. Wondering which suede pieces are actually worth the spend? I'm here to help.

As someone who shops for a living and spends eight hours a day looking for the latest and greatest styles (it's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it), I've curated a list of suede clothing and accessories that deserve a spot in your fall wardrobe. Suede can be pricey, but don't worry: I've found some fabulous real and faux options to fit every budget. Pieces start as low as $22, and everything is under $200 — except for one pair of boots that's totally worth the splurge. Happy shopping!

This stylish pair of ballet flats really does leave our feet a'singing. The rounded square toe and soft, suede-like fabric elevate their look. Plus, they feature a comfy padded insole with built-in arch support, making them perfect for all-day wear. These may become your go-to shoes for fall.

"These shoes are perfect for a day at the office — comfy, stylish, true to size. It feels like you're wearing nothing. I got so many compliments on these, and I am not regretting this purchase at all," said one shopper.

How chic is this tan suede shoulder bag? The $26 carryall exudes luxury without the hefty price tag of high-end leather totes, and it's big enough to hold more than the essentials. Bonus: It comes with a cute faux leather pouch to keep your smaller items organized, so you won't have to rummage through the bottom of your tote to find them.

One reviewer wrote, "The simple shape is so modern and it comes with a smaller zippered pouch lined with the same material as the bag. Perfect size for day-to-day items and feels well made."

We adore this stylish drop-waist shift dress because it's so versatile. You can easily throw on a cozy sweater or a chic blazer over it, or layer a thin turtleneck or button-up underneath for a polished look. And it's a machine-washable piece, which is a huge win in our book.

Sizes run from 00 to 24, and while one shopper called it "fabulous for fall," they did note that it runs big. So be sure to check the sizing chart before ordering.

This stunning green skirt shows that not every suede piece has to come in classic brown. The maxi length and front slit make it comfortable to walk in while keeping you cool. Snap this up to add a pop of color to your cool-weather wardrobe.

One five-star reviewer wrote, "The yummy [real] suede gives this skirt weight and a luxurious feel. The length hits right at mid-calf. The green color is pretty but it has a lot of gray in it that doesn’t show up in the photo. It's almost a sage green."

Heading to a fun party or a fancy event this season? You'll want a chic coat to complete your outfit. This elegant trench looks just like real suede, but it's actually made from polyester (shhh). Not only does that make it more budget-friendly, but machine-washable!

One reviewer wrote, "This coat is amazing! The color is rich and the texture feels like real suede! The length is tall-girl friendly. I have received many compliments and everyone thinks the coat is real suede."

These ultra-sleek suede booties are so stylish and comfortable, they made our best fall boots list. Trending Writer Ellie Conley tells us, "I've had these booties for at least three years, and a few of my friends have them too! We all wear them again and again in the fall and winter seasons. Because they're real suede, they're pretty durable."

The cute booties have a Western flair, which Conley says is on trend this year. She styles them with jeans and an oversized sweater for one of her "easiest go-to fall looks." Plus, despite the 3-inch heels, they're super easy to walk in, she adds.

What could be better than a stylish pair of knee-high boots? A pair that feels comfy enough to wear all day, of course. These lovely J.Crew boots have sensible 2-inch heels, so you'll have no trouble staying on your feet from morning to night. Plus, with their rubber sole, you can stroll around without worrying about slipping. 

"This is the only pair of black boots/shoes I took with me for a month in Paris ... that's how much I love them!" raved a shopper. "They are comfortable, the heel is high enough to feel elegant yet low enough to be comfortable. I have worn them with trousers, silk pants, silk maxi skirts, wide-leg jeans, and shorter dresses. They are well made and look more $$ than they are."
