    There's something about tweed that undeniably conjures up images of wintertime coziness... not to mention old-fashioned office attire and your grandma's go-to outfit for Sunday brunch. The good news is, however, that tweed has been updated to suit the styles of modern trends -- from platform pumps to boyfriend blazers -- and has expanded beyond its traditional use in plain ol' pea coats and conservative skirt suits. The great thing about the fabric is its ability to makes items still look office-appropriate without appearing stuffy, yet it can also be dressed up with metallic details for a night out, or thrown on last minute for an upgrade of your usual "just rolled outta bed" look. For some wintry-warm tweed pieces that are still totally on-trend, check out the slideshow!

    Reel to Real: Get The Claire Standish Look From "The ...

    Claire Standish: Love her or hate her, she's the quintessential '80s princess you either wanted to be or wanted to run over (but still... wanted to be). Played by Molly Ringwald, she is forever remembered for dropping gems like, "Do you know how popular I am? I am so popular. Everybody loves me so much at this school," she eventually redeemed herself by crossing social battle lines to hook up with the outcast Bender (Judd Nelson) and giving Allison (Ally Sheedy) a compassionate, less invasive version of "The Swan" in the girls' bathroom. Yet it's her clothes, maybe more than her status, that we coveted. Classic rich yet understated WASP/prep style: knee-length tweed skirts, lace-up riding boots, and layered tops paired with leather accessories. With the '80s back in full-force on the Fall 2009 runways, jump on the trend early-- or just if you're feeling nostalgic-- and cop Claire's look by clicking the slideshow.

    Getting "Tweedy" With It

    The leaves are starting to turn shades of brown and weather is starting to cool. You know what that means €“ it's time to bust out the tweed. It's manly. It's stylish. It's classic. The fabric's autumnal appeal is the perfect material to don during the chillier parts of the season and well into winter. The chivalrous fabric evokes scenes of Englishmen hunting on the countryside, but that doesn't mean you have to mount a horse and shoot some elk. It also doesn't necessarily have to be worn in blazer form. From Converse sneakers to newsboy caps, take a look at my SLIDESHOW for tweed items fit for the modern man. Just don't overdo it. You might end up looking like an upholstered couch in the den of an uptight college professor at Oxford. And P.S. €“ Ralph Lauren Rugby seems to be the front runner when it comes to tweedy necessities.

    You simply cannot discuss London Fashion Week without at least a mention of UK supermodel du jour, Agyness Deyn. When not strutting her stuff on the runways, Deyn is most commonly known for her punky rock n' roll style, but at the recent House of Holland Catwalk Show she oozed sexy glamour in a provocative catsuit number. And she didn't just pull it off, but she made it look effortless paired with a chic tweed coat, a bustier-style belt, and of course, stilettos. But how exactly are you going to steal Agyness' risque look? Well, the Hive has tons of cute options that let you fit her look into your style - catsuit and supermodel body not required.
