Look for Less: Chanel's Tweed Jacket

Tuesday, December 28

 
Perhaps nothing is more chic than a Chanel tweed jacket. (Read more about the history of the jacket here.) Whether paired with khakis or knee-high boots and leggings -- as seen above on Beyoncé and Ashley Olsen -- a Chanel tweed instantly pulls together and adds oomph! to an outfit.




For all those who can't swing $1k or so for a new jacket, we've found an affordable alternative: Free People's Coco Tweed Jacket, on sale now for $138.99. Named for the house's founder, Coco Chanel, the jacket keeps with the Chanel-look with its rich tweed fabric, boxy shape, and bold trim.


S.S.W. Asks: Which jacket would you buy? Comment below or on our Facebook or Twitter pages.

I love that bold trim!

I think I would save my money and try to find a vintage Chanel version.

One day I hope to own a Chanel jacket! Until the day I can finally afford one, I shall stick with the Free People version. Black Market White House always has great tweed Coco type jackets too!
