For instance, I have black suede lace up booties. For me,&nbsp;they are a&nbsp;fall and winter shoe because they looks heavy. And I think that they would be just plain hot in the summer. But I have a taupe suede mule that will be a spring/summer/fall shoe because it looks lighter and feels cooler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226665 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 19:21:40 +0000 K. Period. 1226665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the past, I felt more restricted about seasonally appropriate leather. &nbsp;However, designers and retailers&nbsp;have totally blown that open in the last decade for me. There are so many great shoes out there in what may not have been traditionally appropriate finishes that it is impossible to resist them. &nbsp;Honestly,&nbsp;I love the shift! I could never figure out why suede would be more autumn and winter&nbsp;appropriate (with its rainy slushy gross weather) than it would be summer appropriate. &nbsp;And patent for spring but not autumn? What was up with that. &nbsp;</p> <p>I've totally embraced the shift. &nbsp;It's another great way to vary the texture and feel of an outfit. &nbsp;What could be more lush and yet relaxed&nbsp;than lovely suede sandals?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226615 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:38:06 +0000 rabbit 1226615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>same as <b>Mo</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226601 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 18:25:49 +0000 Mo 1226601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, mostly in warm weather, due to the style of shoes i have that are these materials. &nbsp;Sling back pointy toes, peep toe flats, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226505 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:26:57 +0000 kkards 1226505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i wear patent leather year round, but i think the old rule was Easter to Labor day. <br />i usually don't wear suede in the warmer months simply because my suede shoes are all booties. years ago, i had a great pair of navy suede sandal type shoes, so i did wear those in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226504 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:26:27 +0000 Gigi 1226504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any suede shoes (I have suede boots only), but I do have a pair of patent leather heels in nude that I've been planning to wear this summer.</p> <p>From what I remember, plenty of forum members wear their Okalas in the summer. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226497 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:23:36 +0000 NDMom 1226497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! &nbsp;Glad to hear this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-patent-leather-shoes-in-springsummer#post-1226496 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:22:30 +0000 Angie 1226496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to suede and patent year round.

How about patent leather? &nbsp;I know that there are no hard and fast rules, but was just wondering as I don't want to be seasonally-confused! &nbsp;Or, are these footwear items seasonless?</p> <p>I purchased the black suede Okala sandals last winter and was wondering if it would look odd to wear them in the summer?</p> <p>Thanks for your patience while I am learning!</p> <p>Blessings, Paula </p>
