Review Saint Laurent’s fall 2021 collection, and you’ll find look after look topped off with eclectic and cool tweed jackets in an array of ’80s-inspired colors like violet, chartreuse, and hot pink. The jackets and blazers were also paired with coordinating tweed skirts, but these were a far cry from the traditional skirt suit. Instead, Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello opted for how-high-can-you-go microminiskirts and metallic bodysuits. The collection seemed to signal the birth of a new generation of tweed separates, and Saint Laurent wasn’t the only label to present a fabulously fun update to the forever style.

In typical Area fashion, designers Piotrek Pansczczyk and Beckett Fogg embellish a green tweed blazer with drips of crystal fringe, while Valentino offers a cropped, midriff-baring version of what is customarily considered a sophisticated silhouette. Balmain’s monochrome gingham tweed might not surprise you in the color department, but its exaggerated pointy shoulders certainly will. There’s even a zip-up hoodie made from the tweedy stuff, courtesy of Dsquared2. Tweed is no longer reserved for the prim and proper; it’s for those who want to have a bit of fun.
