When it comes to winter’s sartorial language, few materials spoke louder than suede. Boots, bags—nearly every accessory and outerwear piece seemed to echo the plush, velvety touch of this timeless leather.
Yet, while most trends come and go with the seasons, Dakota Johnson is making a persuasive case for suede’s enduring allure—particularly in jacket form.
Stepping out in New York City, the Materialists star exuded understated glamour in Khaite’s Saraphina Jacket, crafted in a rich toffee suede. This standout piece, a star of Khaite’s Fall 2025 collection, elevates the classic silhouette with a high neckline, sharply tailored peak lapels, and glossy black horn buttons. The result? An artful fusion of polish and texture that effortlessly bridges the gap between winter’s weightiness and summer’s airier sensibilities.
Johnson’s look is a masterclass in transitional dressing, inviting us all to reconsider suede as more than just a cold-weather staple.
She grounded her statement jacket with a pair of effortlessly cool, medium-wash straight-leg jeans, and layered beneath it a whisper of intrigue—a sheer black bodysuit by Commando, priced at $90.
True to her mastery of sophisticated contrast, she punctuated the look with Khaite’s Colt Wedge Mules in polished black glazed leather, elevating her ensemble with a touch of architectural chic. A pair of Gucci’s sleek Panthos Metal Oval Sunglasses, with their glinting gold rims, added a note of refined edge to the ensemble.
Of course, no ensemble of Dakota’s would be complete without an unapologetic hint of sparkle. In collaboration with her longtime stylist Kate Young, she adorned her neckline with the Ophelia Eve Emerald Victorian Slider Necklace, a captivating statement piece valued at $10,430, alongside the dazzling Sophie Bille Brahe Collier de Amis Necklace, a masterpiece of modern luxury priced at a cool $123,858. Together, these pieces wove a narrative of vintage allure meeting contemporary brilliance—a styling move as daring as it was dazzling.
