It’s breathable and has a soft, elegant appearance, making it the perfect fit for adult feet. Now, summer shoes made with suede are slowly gaining attention. If you think of it as a fall/winter material, you’re missing out! This year, update your seasonal look starting from your feet with ABC Mart’s new “Summer Suede” collection. ■What is suede anyway? Suede, derived from the French term “gants de Suede,” refers to gloves made of brushed material invented in 18th-century Sweden. It’s a
distinctive leather material made by tanning both sides of animal hide, raising the nap on the underside with sandpaper, and then using that as the outer layer. It’s smooth, soft, breathable, and naturally water-repellent thanks to its napped surface. In early 20th-century Europe, where practicality was valued, suede gained popularity as a luxury material that wasn’t as hard as leather and could be worn comfortably in hot weather. It was favored by the upper class, who flocked to resorts and summer resorts. In Italy and southern France, in particular, pairing suede loafers or driving shoes with summer outfits remains a classic style. They’re beloved as a summer luxury item because they don’t get stuffy even when you sweat and feel comfortable against the skin even when worn barefoot. ■Why suede for summer now? Suede was originally a summer material. However, many people now associate suede with being a fall/winter staple, which is actually because the image of the season has shifted over time. Since the 2000s, suede has been widely used in items like boots and heavy leather jackets, establishing itself as a material that brings out the seasonal feel of fall/winter fashion. Its deep colors, such as dark brown and burgundy, and its brushed texture match the autumn/winter atmosphere, giving it the impression of being a material perfectly suited to the cold season. However, this stereotype is beginning to change. Fashion’s overall shift toward lighter weight and a growing trend toward natural materials means seasonal styles are tailored not through color or material weight, but through the subtleties of airiness and texture. The softness and matte texture of suede are once again in demand in summer fashion. In particular, 2025 will see a resurgence in the trend of showcasing materials. Compared to leather or nylon, suede offers a warmer feel without appearing too heavy, making it a re-evaluated “summer material” that can create a sophisticated look without being too casual. Furthermore, as sneakers have become mainstream in recent years, combining functionality with aesthetics, summer suede, updated with modern technology such as stain-resistant finishes and lightweight designs, is perfectly suited to the current mood. A material once thought of as “exclusively for fall and winter,” is actually perfectly suited to summer. This year’s trends have begun with people noticing this discrepancy. ■Check out ABC Mart’s new summer suede items!
