As we head into the fall months, one classic style that remains for fall and winter is again making a big appearance on the runways. Tweed is a style that never goes out of fashion, but this fall and winter you will be seeing much more of the wool fabric.
When some people think of tweed, they think of the dowdy, matronly looks of several years ago. Tweed clothing has gotten an update and it can be sexy, sophisticated and elegant. No longer are you only given options of brown or grey tweed, but we are seeing more and more colors such as purple, pink, and blue.
You can wear this runway fashion trend several different ways. The most common way to wear tweed is with your outerwear. Picture a fitted tweed pea coat or blazer for this fall or winter. Another trendy way to wear this style is with a tweed dress or skirt. Instead of going for the basic brown herringbone pattern, look for a purple or pink color. For a great work outfit, pair a fitted blouse with a pair of tweed trousers for the ultimate in sophistication.
There are also several tweed accessories that can make an outfit. A tweed hat added to a t-shirt and pair of jeans can add some drama to an outfit, while tweed shoes can add some effect to a plain dress. Other accessories to look for are handbags and scarves.
The great thing about this runway fashion trend is that it is a classic style that will still be around next fall and winter. This is a reason why you should be willing to invest some money into your tweed pieces. Knowing that you can wear them for years to come, makes it worth it since you will be able to look great for years down the road. Look for well-structured pieces that are made of quality wool and that will last. Also, there is nothing more tacky when it comes to imitation tweed. Just don't go there!
