5 Contemporary Ways To Style Tweed

7 Jan 2025

Tweed might have a bit of a granny reputation, but hear me out — it is far from outdated. Sure, your nan might have rocked it back in the day, but today’s tweed is anything but old-fashioned. With the right cuts, colours, and pairings, it is an easy way to add texture and personality to your wardrobe. Here are some tips on styling this classic fabric with a fresh twist. 

Silhouette matters

When shopping for tweed, opt for pieces that bring a modern flair to this material. Think structured shirts, crop tops, bomber jackets, cardigans, coats, full-length trousers, or even tailored shorts. For something truly unexpected, look for tweed designs that mimic other materials like denim for a standout look.

Match made casually 

To make tweed look youthful, give it an effortlessly laid-back vibe by pairing it with your go-to casual staples: oversized jeans, leggings, sneakers, or anything else you would usually throw on for a relaxed look. The trick? Treat that pretentious tweed jacket like it isn’t even there — just keep it easy and cool.

Bold Colours

While tweed has a certain traditional allure, it can also be incredibly playful. Forget about those neat neutrals and dive straight into vibrant colours and bold, eye-catching thread patterns. I mean, why not? 

The Power of Accessorizing

Not ready to go full-on tweed? No problem — just dip your toe into the trend with tweed accessories. From vintage handbags to edgy hats and shoes, tweed adds the perfect touch of classic charm, elevating your look with those little details that make all the difference.

Let it shine (literally)

Tweed doesn’t always have to be all about subtlety. Why not embrace it in your occasional outfits? Add a bit of sparkle to your night-outs with a shimmering tweed jacket, a skirt with a hint of gold, or a pair of metallic-threaded trousers.
