One of the oldest and most classic fabrics that have become a winter must-have in recent times is a tweed jacket. Worn in the olden days as a camouflage in the surrounding landscapes by hunters,
tweed is a woolen weave that can be made into different patterns. This fall, be your fashionable best in tweed as we tell you how to wear it.
· Tweed in ancient times was a rough material that would be harsh on your skin, but now it’s become softer and is perfect to keep you warm in style.
· This fabric can be very nifty, with so many patterns that can be created like broken-checks, half-plaid and more. In both, tweed pants and jackets go for maximum versatility. The more complicated the patterns, the less versatile it gets, so try simpler styles this season.
· Pair your multipurpose tweed jacket with denims or better yet, moleskins or khaki pants for a cool look.
· Choose your tweed depending on the occasion. If you’re spending a day outdoors, wear a tweed jacket in earthy tones and pair it with khakis or denims and a white dress shirt. The white dress shirt can also be worn for an evening out and at a more urban setting with darker shades of tweed jackets like black or grey.
· Your tweed outfit needs to be worn with shoes that will complement the style. Opt for suede shoes or brogues that are good to wear outdoors.
· Skip the jacket and wear your narrow cut tweed pants with a pastel shirt or a striped one at that, for a stylish/semi-formal look.
· Complete your tweed look with a knit tie and a printed shirt for a formal, classy and vintage look.
· Replace your classic black overcoat with your super stylish tweed one and stand out amongst other employees during those chilly winters.
· Wear a classic grey tweed suit pant either with a striped shirt, or give it a pop of colour with a bold skinny tie.
· A well-fitted tweed vest will look perfect with shirts in darker shades of blue or brown and denims for a smart casual look.
· Make sure to protect your tweed and keep away from moisture.
