Time for tweed
We have Coco Chanel to thank for fashion’s love affair with tweed. After admiring a friend’s tweed sportswear, the legendary French designer started experimenting with the traditional Scottish fabric, blending it with silk for a softer finish.
It was then shaped into the iconic Chanel jacket, which remains a timeless classic today.
This spring, the high street is full of stylish tweed looks for every occasion, so what better time than now to update your wardrobe?
