The Tweed Skirt Suit

Few outfits are as emblematic of feminine sophistication as the tweed skirt suit. Just think of Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, the legendary Ladies Who Lunch and… Olivia Pope. It’s practically code for women of a certain polish and professionalism.

But here's the secret to skewing the look stylish rather than stuffy: it’s all about the cut. We designed our Alessia dickey jacket with a sharp cutaway, collarless silhouette—and a nipped-in waist—while the Italian-spun stretch bouclé ensures ease of movement. The matching Perry skirt fits like perfection, too, and its abbreviated mini hemline only furthers the contemporary feel.

So if you think the skirt suit can’t skew sporty or effortlessly chic, then keep reading. We’ll show you just how cool this uptown classic can get…

POWER PLAYER

In a workwear rut? Make it a matching moment with the Alessia and Perry for a feminine take on power dressing. For an added dose of Parisian polish, style with penny loafers—like our croc-embossed Penny, which ties back to the rich sepia of the nubby tweeds.

BORROWED FROM THE BOYS

If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, deliver a texture message by mixing tweed with on-trend corduroy in a warm cognac color. Play up the tomboy feel with a cotton-poplin shirt, untucked and unbuttoned for off-duty ease. It's the perfect weekend look…

SOPHISTICATED SPORTIF

Even tony tweed has a sporty side—if styled the right way. Go for contrast and dress up a simple tee or sweats with the Perry. Or go prep with the terry Beaumont, which features our new crest logo, layered over a contrast-color turtleneck. Complete the off-duty look with sneakers.
