The Essentials: Need For Tweed

As the weather continues getting colder, turn up the heat at the office—not via the thermostat, silly—with the It textile for fall: tweed. Famously pioneered and popularized by the First Lady of fashion, Coco Chanel, today’s tweed jackets and separates boast much more than the familiar frayed edges and streamlined structure. The myriad of city-ready shapes (think biker jackets à la Junya Watanabe) offer updated details ranging from neon and metallic tweeds to leather trims and even printed leather. This season, park your classic tweed skirt suit in favour of a tweed-trimmed bomber jacket for some “downtown cool” sartorial cred at the office.
