Suede is the loafer texture that belongs to autumn — here are 10 pairs plus how to keep them alive.
My top pick: Suede loafers look better than leather for about three months of the year, and worse than leather the moment it rains. Treat them and they are worth it.

The bottom line
Tan and chocolate suede are the two shades that do the most work. Spray them before the first wear — suede that gets soaked untreated never fully recovers.
