The key to wearing tweed is finding pieces in modern shades and silhouettes, like this fantastic suit by Jaclyn Smith (available at kmart.com). The fabric is a flattering combo of dusty rose, pink, and navy, and the jacket and pencil skirt are sleek, not boxy. My jaw dropped when I found out the price: At just $55, this suit is one trend you can try without breaking the bank.

To take this look from day to evening, just lose the jacket and trade the bag for a sparkly clutch.
