To celebrate National Tweed Day we’ve pulled together some of our favourite tweed pieces that go with just about anything.

Coco Chanel once advocated wearing white way past Labour Day, so it’s only fitting that we’d find two current style icons following in her footsteps while wearing none other than Chanel. At the sixth annual MoMa Film Benefit last night in New York, Jessica Biel and Alexa Chung were dressed in two very different white tweed looks from the label’s recent resort and couture collections. The benefit also honoured Tilda Swinton for her contribution to cinema on her 53rd birthday, which, serendipitously, is also Chung’s. Talk about a lucky day!

Jessical Biel wore a contour hugging white tweed Resort 2014 dress featuring two front pockets, golden chain details around the shoulders and bust. Topping things off with a white and black plexiglas minaudière, Biel added some aqua eyeliner for a pop of colour against a neutral pink lip and a simple cat eye. A brown metallic pump adds the perfect contrast against the gold chain detail and glossy clutch.

I’m already dreaming of blue skies, sunshine and all the cute clothes that accompany springtime. Despite Vancouver’s gray sky and drizzling rain (it is only January after all), I have found a way to bring warm weather clothes to my wet and gloomy city.
