The Look For Less: DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

There's something intriguing about a black jacket that has a hint of shine, like this DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket ($504). It's totally classy and sassy at the same time - a modern Coco Chanel would wear it well. Since most modern Coco Chanels are budget conscious, I hunted down a less expensive version that is twice as nice.

This Forever 21 Jewel Trim Tweed Jacket ($35) has the class and the sass, but not the high price tag. The square-shaped jewels are a bit bigger than the DKNY version, but they provide the perfect sparkle. The cropped sleeves are also fresh. Since the silhouette is on the classier side, I would make it cooler with a pair of lightwash jeans.

The Look For Less: L.A.M.B. Metallic Tweed Jacket

Tweed is traditionally associated with the primp and proper (i.e. Chanel), but this L.A.M.B. Metallic Tweed Blouson Jacket, $485, is anything but. It's more so rugged, motorcycle-chic, but with a girlie twist. Still, I'm going to have to have a talk with Gwen about why it's so expensive.

Thank you, Armani Exchange, for coming out with something a bit more affordable. This Armani Exchange Tweed Bomber Jacket, $130, is equally gorgeous as the one above. It features the same tweed material, black and grey scheme, and rugged-chic look. In fact, I think it's more wearable. And if next Fall you decide you're tired of it, you won't feel so bad.

Trend Alert: Little Boxy Jackets

Nothing goes unnoticed on Victoria Beckham. Not only did she sport some sharp trousers, and an incognito cloche hat at the Heathrow Airport, she threw on a little boxy jacket. A little boxy Chanel jacket. You have to love this woman's luxe travel wardrobe. Chanel tweed is ideal, but you can make an equal statement in fur - embellished, plaid, or striped. You know how to wear it: boxy on top, slim, on bottom. Sweet travels . . .

The Look For Less: Smythe Tweed Slouchy Boyfriend Blazer

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

I already have a tweed Chanel-inspired jacket, but I don't have a cool tweed blazer . . . This Smythe Tweed Slouchy Boyfriend Blazer ($550) is bound to add a smart edge to any ensemble. It would look especially dapper with a pair of liquid leggings and some black-rimmed glasses. Unfortunately, I can't afford to dish that much on a blazer right now.

This Silence & Noise Tweed 3-Quarter Sleeve Blazer ($78) is just what I need to get the aforementioned look. It's tweed, long, and equally oversized. It's not cheap, but I can justify spending $78 since I'll be wearing it all Fall.

Trend Alert: Tweed Jackets

FabSugarUK — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:00:15 -0800

Womenswear has been influenced by Coco Chanel since she opened her first store in 1913. She reinvented fashion for women, reworking classic fabrics and adding a sporty touch to traditional pieces. This year, fashion is acknowledging her inspiration through two films (The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky and Coco Before Chanel) and with key pieces. One of these tribute pieces is the tweed jacket for which Chanel are arguably most famous. On the Chanel catwalk (right) it featured in a longer length for a more casual style. Luella and Peter Jensen gave the look a funky twist by drawing from a bright colour palette. See below for tweed jackets currently available.

Milly Italian Bouclé ruffle jacket - £357.00	Almost Famous Check jacket - £205.00
Katy Rodriguez Silk shamir tweed motorcycle jacket - £645.00	Balenciaga Tweed jacket - £1,595.00

Love it or Hate it: Nicola Roberts Tweed Suit

FabSugarUK — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:30:41 -0700

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts was spotted leaving the Mayfair hotel last night wearing an interesting ensemble. I have become accustomed to seeing the doll faced star in mini dresses, leather jackets and funky playsuits, and I'm not sure about this andogynous style on her. She was wearing an orange tweed jacket and matching wide leg trousers whilst carrying her trusty Chanel 2.55. What do you think of this look on Nicola?

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

You must have noticed the tweed rage these days. Everyone is wearing it in some form. I loved Olivia Palermo's tweed H&M shorts so much, I got the matching jacket recently. While most tweed jackets are cropped, this Vintage Gray Stone Tweed Coat, size small, is equally chic. It looks good open and closed, and the black piping and big buttons are super cute. Especially if you live in cold climate, I suggest bundling up with this tweed-tastic piece.

The current bidding price is $10.99 and the auction ends on Thursday, October 22. Good luck and happy bidding!

The Look For Less: Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce opted for casual garb as she headed out to watch a basketball game with hubby Jay-Z. I love seeing B in this easy outfit over her form-fitting red carpet gowns. Here she sports a classy and chic Chanel tweed coat with wide legged khakis. She's accessorized with platform shoes, layered jewels, and an oversized metallic bag.
