Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Mixed Tweed Jacket

This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

At some point, clothing brand Rebecca Taylor must have decided tweed was its strength — because they have SO. MANY tweed jackets available right now — and I want them allll. I love the feminine look to this collarless one, with details like puffed sleeves and a peplum silhouette — and I love the look of the mixed tweeds. It's $550 at Nordstrom. Rebecca Taylor Mixed Tweed Jacket

(I always think of IRO for leather jackets, but they also have this fabulous tweed blazer, also $550! Check out last week's Suit of the Week for an affordable but similar option.)

If you're hunting for winter blazers in tweeds or other warm fabrics, check Uniqlo, Ann Taylor, Boden, Smythe, J.Crew, Veronica Beard, Tuckernuck, and L'Agence. Some recent ones we've featured:

  1. I have a fun ask for the hive. TLDR, need attractive, basic casual pieces that are cheap but don’t look it.

    I have the enviable problem (I know! I know!) of having lost a lot of weight in a relatively short time. I’ve started intermittent fasting and it is working incredibly well for my body.

    Getting dressed has become an ordeal because my clothes have suddenly jumped the shark into laughably too big. This weight loss has been a project years in the making, and so I was already wearing a lot of my old clothes (sizes 12-18) that were too big. I just can’t afford to wholesale replace my wardrobe every month. However, I’m now about a size 8 on bottom/6 on top, and even a lot of the nice M tops I JUST bought as my new beautiful skinny clothes look like I’m trying on my mom’s work outfits.

    My work environment is casual, so at least I can wear a lot of the same pieces from work week to weekend, but HALP. I need new clothes. I just bought all new clothes.

    What are your go-to cheapy tops and jeans and pants? I don’t have time to spend hours in the racks at Marshalls or TJMaxx. Amazon Prime is excellent. I need quantity, not necessarily things that will last a long time, but I work in the C suite, so jeans are fine but need to be nice/not too weekendy. (At this point the idea of separate weekend wear is a laughable luxury…I’m going with does it fit me?!)

    1. Have you been re-measured for a br@? That could be why tops you just bought look drab on you.

    2. Congrats! BTW — I would love to hear more about your experience for intermittent fasting.

      But, for your question, my go-to is clearance Lands End sheath dresses with a Target or August Silk cardigan. The sheath dresses can go up or down a size as needed and when on sale can be priced well. I also try to find my fave well-known brand names in a size down used on poshmark or ebay (e.g. Ann Taylor pants). I’ve had great luck on poshmark — much more so than threadup.

    3. I like the Halogen line at Nordstrom (often on sale online).

      I’m so glad that IF worked for you! It was the only thing that helped me with my weight loss, now I just need to work on toning up.

    4. Gap family — Old Navy (cheapest), Gap and BR — on one of their frequent 35% or 40% off codes. Recommend dark wash “Real Straight” jeans and the Slim Crop trousers (both Gap) and Harper or Pixie pants at ON. (I am 5″8′ and like work pants to hit at or below the ankle so I get the “Long” length.)

  3. Another great fall piece! Love the peplum silhouette. It adds a bit of femininity to a very structered piece. And the puffed sleeves are right on trend.
