What is tweed?
This conservative-looking, typical English material is the second one I will introduce to you in more detail. It is a predominantly woollen fabric with a soft, open weave. As for colour, the most typical tweed is "melange", i.e. a mixture of several colours, but we also come across a plain version. The more wool the material contains, the warmer it is.
The history of tweed
Tweed originates in Scotland, where jackets for shepherds were made from a coarse woollen blend. At first it was used almost exclusively in menswear, but later, thanks also to Coco Chanel and her immortal tweed suit, it became established in womenswear as well.
Tweed is experiencing a big comeback, and brands such as Max Mara, Louis Vuitton or Chanel itself, in whose collections this material is once again regularly and abundantly represented, have brought it back into the fashion spotlight.
How to wear it?
You can emphasise its majesty by combining it with other luxurious materials such as silk, lace or leather. Tweed blazers combine brilliantly with jeans, when the outfit looks very relaxed, yet luxurious at the same time. I chose a tweed blazer combined with gold leather leggings, and I will leave the verdict on the result to you. ![]()
