Tweed jacket

Legendary Coco Chanel gave women a lot of wardrobe items with iconic status. In addition to ballet shoes and a small black dress , each of us can wear a female tweed jacket, which is also Chanel's invention. For the first time she presented a women's costume made from an unpopular tweed, considered "masculine", in the early thirties of the last century. Special innovation did not produce, but after 15 years Coco Chanel again brought out a short tweed jacket on the podium. From that moment the triumphal procession of such jackets began.

Material Features

Tweed is a fabric made of specially treated wool, which has the ability to retain heat and is strong. In cool weather, tweed products are irreplaceable. In the 70s of the last century, there were few options for wearing a tweed jacket. He was combined with a classic pencil skirt or trousers. But today, designers offer connoisseurs of elegance and special English charm to wear a stylish tweed jacket and with airy dresses, and with skinny jeans and leggings. The classic black tweed jacket can be called basic in the style of kazhual. Thanks to this element of the female wardrobe, it becomes possible to create original everyday images that indicate the presence of an excellent taste. But tweed products are somewhat capricious, so choosing a jacket, you must follow certain rules.

Recommendations of stylists

Choosing a tweed jacket, girls should remember that the texture of this material visually increases growth and adds volumes. If your growth is below average, then the choice is to stop on a shortened jacket of dark color. A long tweed jacket looks better on tall, slender girls. Black, white, gray or brown color are considered classics, but it is also possible to wear jackets made from tweed of bright colors, if it is appropriate. Incredibly elegantly looks a tweed jacket with a small floral print on a dark or light background. Another bold and stylish solution is a bright yellow jacket in combination with a black or yellow pencil skirt made of tweed.

Basic combinations are a tweed jacket, a monotonous turtleneck or a thin sweater. Adding an ensemble of jeans, you will get a universal image in the urban style. More elegant and strictly looks a combination of a tweed jacket with a white shirt. In the office it is better to wear a blouse, and for walks to choose men's shirts. Simply and simultaneously elegantly looks a combination of a tweed shortened jacket with a dress. The latter should be easier in texture than tweed. The image, made on the basis of a chiffon dress of a free cut and a short tweed jacket, looks nontrivial and attractive. And do not forget that the jacket can act as outerwear, replacing a jacket or cardigan, or combined with an elegant coat.

Separate attention deserves accessories, which can be complemented by images based on a tweed jacket. If the model is monophonic, then a large brooch or massive beads will be very appropriate. Small decorations on the background of the texture of the tweed will look pale and inconspicuous. Jackets made of tweed with a catchy print, stylists overload with accessories do not recommend.
