How To Style A Tweed Blazer 4 Ways

tweed blazer, tweed clothes, tweed fashion, chanel fashion

I’m obsessed with the nubby, flecked fabric known as tweed.  It is so chic, so Chanel.  And contrary to popular view, the tweed blazer or jacket doesn’t have to be formal, doesn’t have to be stuffy and doesn’t even have to be saved for winter. When a tweed suit is worn broken apart into separates, the tweed blazer instantly becomes a casual, cool layering piece – easily used during warmer months.  So think outside the traditional 2 piece suit set and take that tweed out of hiding.  Here are 4 ways to style a tweed blazer:

  1. Pair it with jean shorts

    Pairing a tweed jacket with denim instantly adds a cool, younger tone.  It freshens up the whole look, don’t you think?  Pictured here for NYFW, I wore a sleeveless tie blouse under the tweed jacket from Express and kept it light and breezy with a pair of denim white cut offs and edgier wedges. Can you believe one shopper at Saks fell in love with my tweed so badly that she offered to exchange it for the Chanel jacket off her back?  Little did she know that my tweed top was by Express and found on a clearance rack for just $20.
  2. Wear the tweed blazer over a dress in a different fabric.

    This Zara fringed tweed blazer looks great matched up with a floral patterned dress.  The light, flowy ruffles add a nice contrast to the structured top.  And the pattern mixing works well because of the size contrast in pattern and the coordinated color scheme.  Think about the dresses from your wardrobe and what you could layer with the blazers in your closet.  It’ll add some variety to the usual leather jacket or cardigan topper.
  3. Keep it casual with a jean skirt. This rainbow flecked tweed blazer was an amazing clearance find at H&M for just $4.  Who could resist that?  Here I paired it with a dramatic ruffled sleeveless top and basic jean skirt.  Again, adding some denim to the mix lessens the formality and stiffness associated with tweed.  It gives it a fresh new look!

Chanel-Inspired Outfits For Little Girls – Kids’ Chanel

There’s something so darling about seeing kids in grown-up outfits.  Think little boys in suits and bowties or little girls in fancy dresses and hats for instance.  So when I see little girl’s outfit that reminds me of something I’d die to wear, it takes all the willpower in me not to nab it for little Juliet especially when it looks like Coco Chanel could have designed it herself!  Through the years, I have developed a special eye for spotting these Chanel-inspired outfits for my minifashionista and here, I will break down the 5 iconic Chanel elements to look out for to have your minifashionista lookin’ oh so chic!

  1. Quiltingchanel pop up, chanel store, chanel girl, chanel baby, baby chanel, chanel doll, coco chanel, coco chanel doll, girls chanel

    Quilting is pretty much synonymous with the brand.  The pictured outfits were bought through my Chinese wholesaler contacts and I love how they gave Juliet a classic, comfortable and elegant little look.

  2. Tweed / boucle’chanel fashion, chanel style, coco chanel, chanel for kids, kids chanel, chanel kids, baby chanel, chanel for baby, chanel kids fashion

    Look out for that nubby fabric, preferably paired with another Chanel element such as the camelia pin, or pearls as shown here.  I’ve had success finding these sorts of looks everywhere from brands like Janie and Jack, to Mayoral, Zara and Little Sara.

  3. Black and whitechanel looks, chanel fashion, chanel for kids, kids chanel, baby chanel

    Black and white is a timelessly chic combo that I’ve always loved.   It is classic to Chanel too.  Inspired by the austere black and white surroundings where Coco grew up, she used this mix of colors so much that it became “her” look.  It’s a sophisticated look for girls and with the right details (add any of the other components such as quilting or suiting for instance), and you’ve got a classic Coco look!

  4. Suiting Detailschanel purse, chanel suit, chanel style, chanel icons, chanel looks, karl lagerfeld for kids

    Coco Chanel was famous for translating menswear suiting details towards womenswear.  Think contrast trim pocket details, 2 piece skirt suits, bow add-ons..check out these adorable examples above.

  5. CC  chanel baby, chanel kids, minifashionista, chanel pop up, chanel store
