Beware: Caffeine boost ahead.
If fall could be a literal outfit, it would be exactly what Eva Longoria wore for a recent event in New York City. The actress, who’s no stranger to a seasonally-perfect ‘fit, dished out chocolate-brown autumnal perfection that I’m officially running to copy this very minute. Good thing I have a similar version of her fall skirt on hand—though I also am officially inspired to add a few more to my rotation after seeing her ensemble.
Longoria was photographed arriving on the set of Good Morning America in NYC, and all I could think, besides the fact that her outfit was fall in, well, fashion form, was that she reminded me about a caramel latte. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have my morning coffee yet, or maybe it’s because that’s exactly what she looked like, but regardless, Longoria’s outfit was a caffeine boost from head-to-toe.

The star of the look? It’s obviously that suede midi skirt. Sure, midi skirts are a no-brainer this time of year, because the leg-covering length makes them more functional to wear, not to mention the silhouette pairs perfectly with knee-high boots. But aside from the obvious, Longoria’s took the style to another level of luxe, with a super-stylish suede material that’s officially the coolest way to wear suede this season. Sure, I just waxed poetic about suede boots, but TBH, the actress has officially inspired me to pull out the suede skirt I own—and invest in a few more, too.
She rounded out the look with a flowy, caramel-colored silk blouse that she tucked into the skirt, and last but certainly not least, suede boots (clearly, suede is trending, and clearly it’s time to get on board!). She kept her accessories to a minimum, adding in only a pair of gold earrings, with simple makeup and hair.
All that to say, while I’m all for silk, denim, and wool skirts, I personally think suede makes for the coolest-looking midi of all. Plus, it’s warm and durable; just be careful to wear it on a rainy day! Shop some of the suede skirts I’m eyeing below.
