8 HOT: Tweed Clothing

Like it or not tweed is back, it has been for a few seasons now. So Coco Chanel, eat your heart out!

New tweed pieces have been given a modern makeover by every one from Marc Jacobs to Karl Largerfeld and worn by celebrities like Kate Moss and Halle Berry. So isn't it about time you invest in a few pieces of tweed yourself?

But what do you wear tweed with? Oh let me count the ways. A nice tweed pencil skirt with a nice shirt and heels can take you back to the 50's where How To Marry A Millionaire and Lauren Bacall showed the world that you can definitely steal the limelight away from Marilyn Monroe and marry a millionaire.

A nice tweed blazer can look great with jeans for a casual day out. A pair of cropped tweed pants or a tweed a-line skirt would look great paired with a pair of knee high boots. If you have a party to attended add a bit of glamour with a satin shirt and a string or two of pearls.

The trick is to pair tweed with feminine materials like lace, chiffon and satin and be simple about it. You can dress up any outfit with a nice tweed jacket like Anne Hathaway or Nicole Kidman. It's understated and chic. And did I mention it keeps you warm?
