Collection: Cordia

The Cordia look

Tweed is the house fabric. The Sariah Sheath Long Sleeved Tweed Midi Dress is the most complete expression of it: a fitted sheath with full-length sleeves and a hem below the knee. The Martha Fit and Flare Cape Shoulder Tweed Top adds a cape detail over the shoulder and pairs with the Martha A-line Wavy Tweed Mini Skirt, whose hem is cut in a soft wave.

For evening, the brand switches to brocade and lace. The Legacy Sheath Mock Neck Brocade Floor Length Dress is a high-necked, floor-length column, and the Karla Cropped V-Neck Brocade Top with the Karla Pencil High Waist Brocade Maxi Skirt gives the same fabric as a two-piece. In lace, the Raquel A-line Cape Sleeved Lace Maxi Dress and the Emmeline Sheath Collared Neck Lace Midi Dress both keep the shoulders covered. The Cheyenne Flared Gathered Voile Midi Skirt, in soft pink, is the lightest piece in the range and the one most often photographed for resort styling.

Separates and outerwear

Cordia does not run named capsules at MEAN BLVD, but its separates are designed to be worn together. The Grace Fit and Flare Crossover Polycotton Top and the Grace Straight Pleated Polycotton Pants make an office set. Outerwear is a real strength: the Laney A-line Notch Lapel Tweed Thigh Length Coat, the Brooklyn A-line Middle Sleeved Tweed Calf Length Trench Coat and the Keyla Hourglass Scoop Neck Tweed Jacket all carry the same fabric as the dresses, so a coat and dress can be matched. Browse the Skirts and Tops edits to build a set.

When to wear Cordia

The pieces are tagged for office, daily wear, going out, anniversaries and wedding-guest occasions, with a clear fall-winter lean because of the tweed. For Gulf customers who want coverage, the Sariah Sheath Long Sleeved Tweed Midi Dress, the Dallas A-line Mock Neck Tweed Calf Length Dress and the Legacy Sheath Mock Neck Brocade Floor Length Dress offer long sleeves, high necks and lengths from calf to floor.

How does Cordia fit?

Fitted. Sheath and pencil cuts are cut close through the waist and hip, and the brand's own description stresses shaping the body rather than draping over it. If you prefer ease, choose the A-line skirts and the fit-and-flare tops, which release volume below the waist.

How should I style tweed in a warm climate?

Wear one tweed piece at a time with a light base. The Remy Peplum Batwing Sleeved Tweed Top over slim black trousers works for air-conditioned offices and dinners, and the Cheyenne Flared Gathered Voile Midi Skirt with a plain knit covers warmer months.
