Fun Tweeds Worn by Tess Carter in WSJ Magazine Digital Summer 2022 AOC Fashion

Tweeds are running wild in the summer 2022 digital issue of WSJ Magazine. No more prim and proper, staid Republican fashion suitable for Phyllis Schlafly. The American Radcliffe-grad with six kids and a law degree, who single-handedly brought down the Equal Rights Amendment, and helped elect Donald Trump as president didn’t have an amusing bone in her body. But she put feminists to shame across America. Bottom line, don’t underestimate the power of traditional patterns in fashion.

These tweeds are for ‘Clueless’ fashionistas. Lizzy Wholley styles model Tess Carter in tweeds transformed into yellow houndstooth for Oscar de la Renta; a kaleidescope of aqua-purple-hot pink suitings for Area NYC; fringe-filled details on nubby fabrics for Proenza Schouler White Label and Isabel Marant; grey windowpane suiting worth a second look at Thom Browne and more.
