Chanel boxy jacket · 1960s geometric tailoring
A two-piece tweed suit consisting of a cropped boxy jacket and A-line skirt in a nubby mohair weave. The jacket features a rounded collar, front button closure, and bracelet-length sleeves with a relaxed, unstructured silhouette typical of late 1960s tailoring. The fabric displays a variegated tweed pattern in grey, blue, and cream tones with visible texture from the mohair fibers. The skirt appears to hit at knee length with a straight A-line cut. This represents the shift away from fitted 1950s tailoring toward the more relaxed, geometric shapes that characterized late 1960s and early 1970s fashion, combining traditional British tweed craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes.
