Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you're buying one for the first time or replacing one you've worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.

As the weather gets colder, I thought I'd poke around for some fresh interpretations of tweed blazers. They can be a great basic for a winter blazer because they're more versatile than velvet blazers (best for the office holiday parties), and more dressed up than corduroy blazers.

Ladies, have you bought a tweed blazer recently? Do you have one from previous years that you can't wait to wear again?

Our Latest Favorite Tweed Blazers for Women

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:

Our Latest Favorite Chanel-Like Jackets (Often in Tweed)

Of course, you can't think of tweed blazers and women without thinking of the iconic tweed Chanel jacket. Here are some of our latest favorite jackets that evoke the same look…

Some of our latest favorite Chanel-style jackets for work in 2025 include these, but in general check more jacket-y options like Chanel, IRO, L'Agence, and Veronica Beard, as well as more sweater-y options like St. John, and ba&sh. J.Crew and Nic & Zoe offer a bunch of both kinds, in regular and plus sizes. On the budget side of things, check out CeCe, Tuckernuck (XXS-XXL), J.Crew Factory, and Mango.

A Closer Look at Some Of Our Latest Favorite Tweed Jackets for Women

Veronica Beard

This Veronica Beard blazer is especially sleek in the darker colors, but the Ferazia blazer has been around in several iterations, all tweed. It's an unusual tweed blazer, with patch pockets and buttons on the front of the blazer — but this black version looks so sleek.

You can find it at Neiman Marcus, as well as Nordstrom, for $598-$798.

Boden Marylebone Tweed Blazer

Boden often has a tweed blazer or suit in their offerings; at the moment it's the fun checked version pictured above. (Also check out their textured blazer, which has a thick, nubby texture but more basic colorways.)

L'Agence Angelina Tweed Jacket

L'Agence has had a number of beautiful tweed options lately, not just in the pictured jacket, with its Chanel-like cut — but in their other cuts as well. The brand is pricey (the Angelina is $575-$795), but well worth a look if you want something beautiful and distinctive.

Cinq à Sept Khloe Tweed Blazer

  2. The cut of the Smythe one makes it look like it’s gaping open.

    I have a Theory blazer in tweedy brown wool with fall-color flecks that I got about 6 years ago at Loehmann’s. I love it — it makes me look like I have a waist and is the perfect length / proportions for me. That I got it at Leohmann’s makes me love it even more.

  3. I need styling help. I’m wearing a grey & white striped fit & flare dress to a firm cocktail event. I want to bring in some color. I’m thinking pink/fuchsia shoes. (Links to follow).

    The dress has a high neckline – I’m looking for a “statement” bracelet instead of necklace.

    Any suggestions?

    2. If you’re going for statement shoes, I would not wear a statement bracelet as well.

      1. I agree with this. I think if I had to choose either or, I’d go for the statement bracelet instead of the statement shoes. The shoes will announce themselves the entire time; the bracelet, someone would have to come up a bit closer (and be in conversational distance) rather than spotting it all the way across a big room.

    1. Me either. I love tweed! But none of these are the preppy professor-style that I actually like.

      1. That top one is frumpity-frump-frump. The rest I’d get on board with if I had extra money to throw at jackets I wouldn’t wear more than every other week.

  5. Dealbreakers Threadjack:
    This came up in a few conversations with friends (male and female alike). These friends are: 2 live-in couples, 1 married couple, 1 dating for a few yrs but not married, and 1 single for a few years.

    As you look forward in your relationships, or as you look back at your own relationships, what were your dealbreakers?

    For me, I had a handful. One of them was: strong adherence to traditional gender roles
    Another was: poor hygiene (including but not limited to bad breath, not showering frequently, etc.)

    I defined my dealbreakers as: even if all my other requirements were met, the presence of these traits [dealbreakers] would make me walk away.

      1. I’m totally w/you on the first two. Although I’m reposting in the later thread — this one looks pretty deserted.

    2. I agree with the strong adherence to traditional gender roles dealbreaker. I probably have a couple more:
      * lack of any ambition – I don’t care what job a person has, but they need to have ambition to do it well, and to grow in their chosen career
      * angry/emotional drunk – drinking is fine in moderation, and even getting drunk is fine on occasion, but the person’s personality shouldn’t change significantly when they drink
      * illegal drug use – kind of my own thing, but I’m just very anti drug use (including w**d, even though it’s somewhat legalized)

    3. This is funny, Susedna! I had a number of guy’s who were all no good for me. In college there was this guy who alway’s followed me around and told peeople we were dateing, but I was not dateing him–I talked to him in the cafeteria once in a while, but NEVER went out anywhere or even kissed him OR held his hand! FOOEY! because he did NOT bathe, and alway’s smelled like mothe-ball’s! I did NOT even know where he lived!!! He could have lived in the Cafeteria!

      Then in law school, there was a guy who wanted ME to be a part of his study group. Because I was haveing some difficultie’s, I did, so we studied (WITH OTHERS) in the cafeteria or in the dorm’s. I NEVER was alone with him ANYWHERE, but he told peeople we were SLEEPEING together. When I found that out, I QUIT the study group. FOOEY b/c he never shaved! GROSS!

      And then there was Alan, who I dated for year’s until his ALCHOHOL got unbareable. He wanted me to do everything for him, then for the most part, took from me, then burped and walked away. He NEVER realy stopped his drinkeing, tho lately, his MOM says he enrolled in Alanon with his MOTHER forceing him to do that.

      There have been more recent looser’s who ONLEY want sex, but I will NOT have sex with a man now without a ring. FOOEY on that!

      1. Ooh, an Ellen-reply!

        Ellen– I think you should definitely list “problems with honesty” as a dealbreaker. (Those two guys who bragged that you went out with them, etc. fail that test.) :-)

    4. Biggest deal breaker = smoking.
      Others include personal hygiene (lack of) and not treating me as an equal partner in the relationship.

    5. I agree with you on the gender thing too. This absolutely scares me off.

      Another thing I remember from my past dates: no serious “life” besides work. So many men I’ve dated only know life at the workplace, business, and their career, and topics involving their job/profession. They don’t care much for anything else besides this, and they only had hobbies (running, theater, opera) not because they were really interested in them, but because they could tell others they do those things in order to present themselves better. I’m special in that regard because I do separate work and private life.
