Byline: NATALIE THEO
FORGET the old dull brown and grey uniform of Women's Institutes everywhere: this season, tweed has gone hip. From hotpants to funky tweed bomber jackets, it's the most radical fashion reinvention for years.
Think long skirts with thigh-high slits, multicoloured tweeds in reds, pinks and blues, patchwork appliquEs, unfinished hemlines and frayed cuffs - all Gucci Bracelet clever ways to modernise a once-homely fabric.
Orla Keily, the handbag designer, has brought out a range of wonderful brown tweed skirts with a stripe of blue or green, piped with brown leather and complete with matching tweed tote bags.
But there's also a great choice on the High Street. Simply opt for appealing autumnal colours and you won't go far wrong.
