Tweed comes from a long British sartorial tradition, which has now achieved a great popularity worldwide. The fabric conveys a low-key sophistication — tweed introduces a character as cultured, elegant, and upper class.
Short and close-fitting, the classic Chanel jacket adds Parisian chic to any look, foolproof anywhere from the office to casual and even cocktail, looking fabulous over a simple dress, skirt or silk blouse; paired with casual trousers, jeans or even shorts; and so on.
But of course countless alternative styles exist, which with hundreds of available tweed fabrics means your own look is limited only by your imagination. A tweed blazer will fit effortlessly into your existing wardrobe, pairing beautifully with a cashmere jumper and jeans for example.
Your chosen jacket’s cut should depend on your own body shape, and where you intend to wear it. Do you want elegant and slim, or functional and robust? Consider going custom-made to ensure a perfect fit. A well-cut coat-length herringbone jacket looks fabulous over dresses and skirts.
