You can trace tweed’s timeless appeal back to one very French (and very expensive) brand. But you don’t have to save up for the CCs if you want a little bit of texture this season. Part of tweed’s appeal is how warm it keeps you, but we’re moving away from boxy jackets and gathered together a few tweed picks that are bit more unexpected. Try the nubby fabric on your fall bag splurge or on a few key accessories. We’ve got ways you can do it big and small, so don’t tread lightly — go all in and channel that French nonchalance whether your passport is up to date or not.
