Legendary Coco Chanel was the first to invent women’s suits with a jacket and a narrow skirt from this fabric. The style of jackets differed with a fitted cut, which gave femininity and style to the image. The first fashion show with tweed women's suits was held in 1954. It was comfortable clothes of simple cut, not constraining movements. The girls in these suits looked elegant and feminine. It was then that tweed became one of the most popular materials for sewing women's suits. It is worth noting that the classic two-piece suit from Chanel is still made according to ancient patterns that were used by Coco Chanel herself.

How to choose
When choosing a tweed suit, you should proceed from your type of figure. For example, tall and slender women may prefer suits with an elongated fitted jacket. Skirts in this case can be short, elongated (to the knee), or slightly flared. If you choose a trouser suit, you can give preference to any style of trousers. Girls of short stature can afford models with a short jacket, up to the waist level. The elongated skirts in this case should not be chosen, since they will make such girls more squat. Pants can use straight and narrowed cut.
It is worth remembering that, after all, tweed is a dense and heavy fabric. Therefore, too wide cut, patch pockets will make a full woman even more. In this regard, ladies with forms are better to give preference to straight cut, like skirts, trousers and a jacket.A more suitable option for these women will be more elongated jacket models. They get such a style due to the elongated neckline of the jacket. Fat women in such a jacket model will visually look slimmer.

If you choose the color of the shoe to match the color of the knots that are on the tweed - this will show your refined taste. Silk and chiffon blouses and tops of classic colors: black, white, as well as muted shades: pale pink, powdery will perfectly suit such a suit. It is better to give preference to the free cut of the blouse, tight-fitting models do not fit well with the classic tweed suit. Bags choose small, for example, a clutch bag or a clutch envelope.
In cold weather, a tweed suit is best combined with a coat of fitted or straight cut. To this image you can safely wear leather gloves, a light scarf. Headgear hats with small brims are perfect.
