Chanel has been the inspiration for many classic items you see today—the little black dress, quilted handbags, and, of course, tweed. Whether it's a cropped jacket, a buttoned cardigan, a charming dress, or a smart suit, the supple, textured fabric is undisputedly a symbol of style thanks largely to the French designer who put the Scottish textile on the map in the 1920s. The fabric continues to be a strong part of Chanel designs, with the brand's latest S/S 23 collection getting us giddy over another round of suit sets and miniskirts.
Tweed is still commonly associated with structured jackets and tailoring, but many brands have taken their own modern approach to the fabric, deciding that it's no longer only for the prim and proper. Think saturated sets, midriff-baring sets, and platform heels for starters. Among the designer selects, we included some easy-on-the-wallet options on the market right now that exude the same modern and Chanel-esque elegance. A new generation of tweed is being ushered in—keep scrolling to take a look.
Hello, under-$100 perfection.
And a matching skirt that's equally as perfect? Thank you, Mango.
A bag that works for any occasion.
This party dress is a far cry from the average tweed dress, and we love every bit of it.

If you're interested, there's a matching blazer too.
This story wouldn't be complete without a little Chanel, and Moda Operandi's latest partnership with Rebag has plenty of options for you to consider.
This is an immediate add-to-cart piece.
We'll be layering this under my blazers and coats.
This jacket packs a punch.
At first glance, we wouldn't think to style a tweed blazer with baggy jeans like this. Zara always knows how to take a preppy item and add some cool factor.
Is it too early to start thinking about spring? We think not.
We're very into this length compared to cropped versions.
Get the Chanel look for less.
Copy and paste this whole outfit, and we predict many compliments will come your way.
There's no lack of saturated shades in the new era of tweed pieces.
Coperni is bringing an edge to the prim-and-proper look.

Swoon.
The right way to do pastels.
Channel the vibe while also keeping cozy.
New work blazer, anyone?
We've already signed up for the stock alert on this.
We've been obsessing over all things red lately.
See?
This is almost identical to what Olivia Rodrigo wore to the White House, and that's a good sign.
If you want to go all in on the trend, opt for this jacket.
Another Chanel option just for kicks.
This earns a big fat yes.
