Wardrobe staple – tweed jacket

February 17, 2011

As I mentioned here, my love for Chanel is definitely due in large part to their flawless (and sometimes fanciful) execution of the classic tweed jacket.  While I think a lovely Chanel tweed jacket is worth the cost, the reality is that it will take a while to save (or be willing to spend) for one!  The good news is that there are many options for tweed outerwear ranging from the classic jacket to modern cardigans.

I love contrast trims…

MM Couture Miss Me gray jacket, Revolve Clothing, $114
BB Dakota Herringford tweed jacket, Revolve Clothing, $110
Rebecca Taylor sparkle tweed jacket, Revolve Clothing, $395
Contrast Sweater jacket, White House Black Market, $118
 
…but a solitary color blend is also great
Tweed peacoat, Gap, $29.99 (on sale so unfortunately most sizes sold out!)

 

Tweed cardigan, Ann Taylor, $59.99

 

 
…as is a jacket with an extra touch of embellishment (the collar is amazing though I wish the jacket came in another color)
Galleria Addie jacket, Kate Spade, $179
 
Do you have any favorite tweed jackets?

    Most of them are a bit too preppy for my style, but I love the one on the top right! One of my friends at work today had on a great tweed jacket that would fit right in with this bunch, and when I complimented her on it, she said, “I call it my Coco Chanel jacket!” haha.

    p.s. I have chili in my le creuset crockpot right now–it is literally almost constantly in use! Thank you so much!

  • this free bird February 17, 2011 at 08:50

    I rather like the one on the top right that the stick from The City is wearing. It’s lovely!

  • The Girlie Blog February 17, 2011 at 09:24

    Tweed coats are certainly staples. I like the one from GAP. Very versatile piece of clothing.

  • Chic 'n Cheap Living February 17, 2011 at 09:51

    @Carrie @Claire Kiefer – the gold MBMJ is my fave too! Ooh and Claire, save some chili for me!

    I love the jacket on the top right, and the contrast sweater from White House/Black Market (one of my favorite stores). Great round-up!

  • quintessence February 17, 2011 at 14:45

    Great examples of Chanel alternatives!! And we all need them because there aren’t enough pennies in my piggy bank!!

  • Pop Champagne February 17, 2011 at 15:15

    I really like the 2nd to left tweed jacket! I just bought 1 from zara last week and I am just in love with tweed

  • ola appletea February 17, 2011 at 15:19

    so so so chic & ellegant 🙂 LOVE IT!!!!

  • Jaime @ La vie...J'aime February 17, 2011 at 15:36

    the marc by MJ one is my fave…so cute. love the tie bow.

  • very married February 17, 2011 at 16:35

    i love these too! the problem I have though is that, physically, my best attribute is my waist. my least favorite physical attribute is my hips. So, you can imagine that a boxy jacket just makes me look big all around. So, i’m still in the search for the one that fits just right.

  • MizzJ February 17, 2011 at 18:29

    Tweed is such a classic material and I do really love tweed jackets, but I find them a bit too preppy for my style. Any tips on how to make them more edgy?

  • Brunch at Saks February 17, 2011 at 18:49

    Omg this is so my style- adore every single piece! You have the best taste lovey! I am always so intrigued by every post 🙂

  • tanvii.com February 17, 2011 at 19:20

    Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket is the popular choice here … but I do like others as well only if they were in different color 🙂

  • Cheryl: Oh to Be a Muse February 17, 2011 at 19:35

    i actually kind of have a jacket that looks very similar to these. that second jacket is truly awesome! i would wear that every week!

  • Krysten @ After 'I Do' February 17, 2011 at 20:41

    Yes please, I’d love any of these!

  • Mrs. Smith February 17, 2011 at 20:48

    Oh how I adore that Gap jacket and that price!
    But, alas, they do not have my size. Oh sadz.

  • Melissa: Write it in Lipstick February 17, 2011 at 22:01

    I love the Tweed Peacoat from Gap. It’s so affordable.

    Write it in lipstick

  • Heart Charlie February 18, 2011 at 03:43

    Love the post! You know I am a huge fan of wardrobe staples 😉 And the tweed jacket is definitely one of them. I love the rebecca taylor one! I am currently looking for a black one with leather pockets. I saw one at Barneys the other day but I am sure it’s out of my price range ;(

  • Nicole Feliciano February 18, 2011 at 04:58

    marc jacobs is my fave!

  • honey my heart February 18, 2011 at 08:05

    tweed is so fun! i have one tweed jacket, and it’s quite old. i might have to add a new one (with contrast trims) to my wardrobe.

    happy friday!

  • Veronica February 18, 2011 at 08:28

    Love all these jackets!
    Cool blog!

    I’m loving the Marc by Marc Jacobs one!
    I don’t own a tweed jacket yet… I will soon:))

  • Chic 'n Cheap Living February 26, 2011 at 23:45

    @MizzJ – sure tweed can definitely be more edgy! Look for modern cuts and colors (like the MBMJ one) and pair with an asymmetrical shirt or skirt with fun accessories!

  • Heather Taylor February 27, 2011 at 03:22

    Most definitely a staple for any wardrobe.
