There’s always something changing in the world of fashion, but timeless pieces like tweed coats remain trendy, stylish and wardrobe staples. If you know anything about fashion, you’ll know that tweed is somewhat iconic, on both the catwalk and high street. It doesn’t matter if you're wanting to add something special to your errand-running outfits or you’re ready to invest in a piece that brings elegance to formal looks, a tweed coat is worth considering.
A Brief History of Tweed
If there’s one thing to know about tweed, it’s that it has a long history. Dating all the way back to the 18th century in the Scottish Highlands, tweed has long been favoured for its durability, comfort and weather-resistance, making it the ideal fabric for outdoor activities. Eventually, tweed transitioned from being a solely functional fabric to one that’s stylish and elegant.
Tweed is no longer limited to those living a rural lifestyle, and it’s now seen as a wardrobe staple, regularly featuring in both high-end fashion and casualwear. There are now various styles of tweed available, ranging in cuts, styles and colours. Whether you’re looking for a women’s tweed jacket or men’s tweed coat, you won’t struggle to find the ideal addition to your wardrobe.
Why a Tweed Coat is a Staple Piece for Your Wardrobe
Adding a tweed coat into your wardrobe is the ideal way to add a touch of classic elegance to your looks, whilst also maintaining a modern style. Its versatility allows you to style a tweed coat for various occasions and its timeless appeal ensures that it will always be in style. If you ask us, it's a style investment worth making. Whether you’re dressing up for a formal dinner or putting a tweed twist on your casual looks, a tweed coat is the ideal choice.
Styling a Tweed Coat for Both Casual and Formal Occasions
There’s a lot to love about tweed, but one standout fact is that a tweed coat is extremely adaptable, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
- Casual Looks - For a casual, a tweed coat pairs perfectly with jeans, a jumper and boots. A casual tweed blazer or a relaxed tweed coat can elevate an everyday look, without appearing too formal or ‘put together’. Choose neutral shades like beige, grey or navy for an effortless, laid back look.
- Formal Occasions - For formal events, a tweed coat or blazer is the ideal finishing touch, adding a layer of sophistication over a tailored suit or a dress. For an evening event or a formal dinner, choose a darker tweed shade, and layer it over a suit or smart dress.
