Need For Tweed: Express jumps on the Chanel bandwagon.

If not for Coco Chanel, would tweed suits really be cool? Maybe, maybe not—but there’s no denying that a lot of labels have suddenly decided to re-create her iconic look (perhaps because Chanel’s sometimes matronly-looking suit took a youthful twist with frayed edges on skirts and jackets this season). Express’s version is a chic black-and-white bouclé tweed jacket ($128) and miniskirt ($49.50) that also comes in a cheery new pink pattern. Save thousands on your chichi uniform, and maybe you can afford lunch at Nello, just like the ladies who wear the real thing. (For Express locations, call 877-415-4551 or visit expressfashion.com.)
