How To: Style A Tweed Jacket

Share on Tumblr

English country style is a very characteristic look that represents the British lifestyle of riding, hunting, fishing, and golfing.  Tweeds, corduroys, tattersalls, suedes, and flannels are fabrics, textures, and patterns that the Brits live by and incorporate into their everyday wardrobes.  What is it about the British country style that is so appealing globally and even in urban settings?

Ever wondered how to interpret that English country style in a modern androgynous way?  Here we show you how to style a tweed jacket for that relaxed (but not too polished) elegance, signature of the British.

    Love how you styled it! I’ve seen jackets like that at thrift stores and never know how to style them because they’re usually oversized, but this outfit is giving me good ideas! Also – love those suede pants!

      Thanks Catherine, so glad this serves a good inspiration for you!  Oversized jackets are the best and my favorite. Just always remember to wear a skinny pant or skirt with one so that the jacket frames your figure.  Want to see your oversized jacket finds!
