Tweed jackets aren’t just for country clubs anymore; celebs are now pairing the classic style with everything from cut-off shorts to skinny jeans. The ladies-who-lunch staple has been given a modern makeover, and we love it. Try the polished look this summer or fall; we’ve got some tips for wearing it in both seasons.
For Summer:
Overall, try to pick a tweed jacket in a versatile style and color, like cream, gray, or even dusty pink. Some tips for wearing tweed when it's warm.
1. Dress the tweed down with a basic tank, or if it's a plan jacket, one with some interesting detail. Ruffle trim, for example, is fun and feminine; a tank top, as opposed to a collared button-down, makes the whole look more youthful.
2. All you need on bottom is a pair of great fitting, tailored shorts. If your office is tailored-shorts-friendly, you can even wear this look with a black cuffed pair and flats during the week.
3. For evening, find a sexy, edgy shoe for the perfect contrast to an otherwise girly look. A shoe with stud detail could be a surprising but interesting contrast to your tweed top.
For Fall:
When the temperature drops, the right pant and shoe can make tweed great for fall.
1. Update your tweed jacket for fall by pairing it with a dark tank or tee. The right tank can dress the look up or down.
2. Dark or slate gray jeans look great with tweed, and any cut that looks great on your body—wide-leg, skinny, bootcut—can work with your jacket.
3. A peep toe pump can make legs look slimmer, and gives a wink of playfulness that you won't get from a classic pointy pump.
