Not your granny’s tweed!

Once reserved for ladies who lunch, internatio­nal designers transform the traditiona­l fabric into something super chic with bright colours, cool shapes and mega attitude.

Finishing touches

Suit up

The sleeveless jacket, the cropped trousers, the colour – this season, go for sporty takes on a typical tweed suit. Jacket, jersey, trousers, brooch, gloves and heels all Prada; bag Etienne Aigner

Shape-shifter

Need a look that’s serious enough to take to the office and sexy enough for a date? Consider a form-fitting tweed sheath, topped off with jumbo pearls and ladylike gloves for night, and a cardigan for day.

Happy days

Fresh update: choose tweed pieces in sunny hues and wear with equally colourful accessorie­s. LEFT Coat and bag Miu Miu; earrings Dsquared2; gloves Sermoneta Gloves RIGHT Dress, earrings and bag all Miu Miu; gloves Lacrasia Gloves

Rebel, rebel

For a dose of bad-girl edge, add a tough accessory, like a spiked necklace or a pair of leather gloves, to a classic silhouette. LEFT Dress Dolce & Gabbana; polo neck Alexander Wang; necklace Erickson Beamon; gloves Sermoneta Gloves; bag Dior; heels Prada RIGHT Coat, earrings, gloves and heels all Balenciaga

Office ready

Bye-bye suit and tie. A polished buttondown shirt pairs perfectly with a cool collar necklace and designers’ favourite car-wash skirt. LEFT Coat Emporio Armani; skirt Alexander Wang; earrings Miriam Haskell; ring Cartier; bag Balenciaga; boots Dior RIGHT Shirt, skirt, necklace and boots all Dior
