"High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides, in your dad's suits you hide
staining his name again,
Cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
lost it to Bostik, yeah,
Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time to kill
get into bands and gangs,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones"
- Beautiful Ones, Suede
Ahh, suede. On Wikipedia, it is defined as "a type of leather with a napped finish. However, it can also refer to a similar napped or brushed finish on many kinds of fabrics. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède", which literally means "gloves of Sweden". Suede leather is made from the under side of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded but due to the fiber nature have a shaggy nap. Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, suede is less durable but softer than standard ("full-grain") leather. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses; suede was originally used for women's gloves. Suede leather is also popular in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products. Due to its textured nature and open pores, suede may become dirty and absorb liquids quickly.
But that hardly stops anyone from rocking this lush material, be it in bag or shoe form. Here we see it in a beautiful blue shade, and designed as men's footwear. I spotted this being worn by a guy and was drawn immediately to it, seeing it rocked as loafers, particularly in this color, which is a big trend for this year's fall/winter collection for men, be it in runways or in the streets of high fashion districts.
Here we see it worn it bright red, as contrasted to the cool blue pair seen above. They come in a variety of colors, all equally attractive & trendy. On Paul (pictured below at the Manila Polo Club Cabanas), we see it paired with casual shorts, a navy button down top, and a cool watch. Its an effortlessly stylish ensemble, tied together and given that extra trendy kick given the footwear of the subject.
