What to wear with a tweed jacket
What to wear with a tweed jacket can vary depending on your taste and the occasion or event you attend. Whether going for a long, wintery walk or attending a country sporting event at the height of summer, we have all the tips to ensure you are wardrobe-ready when crafting your look.
Creating a country look
Once you have chosen your favourite tweed jacket, it’s time to style it! You can accentuate and accessorise your outfit in many ways to achieve the perfect country aesthetic.
Dress up your style with a shirt
Add your favourite shirt or blouse to the mix to give your style a timeless feel. While one of our women’s checked shirts exudes traditional charm, our brand-new Tinta & Bariloche shirts perfectly balance contemporary edge and elegance.
Similarly, our men’s shirts provide the same level of personalisation with classic and tailored designs, allowing you to craft sharp looks and elevate your style and confidence.
Whether participating in shooting activities or simply catching up with friends in your favourite country pub, we have the perfect range of shirts to ensure you always look the part!
Tailor your look with trousers
Say goodbye to the days of compromising on style to dress for the tougher weather conditions. The most elegant pair of trousers has you covered when looking great and feeling ready to combat even the wettest days!
Some of the best country brands, such as Barbour, Dubarry and Schöffel, craft our luxury collection of women’s trousers with their renowned quality and heritage. Merging style with practicality has never been easier, with many of our trousers containing water-resistant properties while still oozing with sophistication.
Our men’s waterproof trousers collection also offers the same level of weather protection. However, the chinos within our Meyer range can be styled to match any country event if you are looking to perfect a smart look.
Set the standard with a skirt
Whether creating a summer look or layering your look further with a pair of tights, adding a skirt to your country wardrobe is a simple yet effective way of personalising your outfit. Many styles from our range of Dubarry skirts contain tweed designs, which would effortlessly match your tweed jacket to craft a co-ord, giving your outfit a cohesive look. Alternatively, a blue or cream skirt would complement your jacket perfectly, making it the stand-out statement piece of your clothing ensemble.
Layer your look with a gilet
Combatting the cold weather with style while exhibiting a quintessential country look is simple with one of our ladies’ or men’s gilets.
Approach frosty morning dog walks or long shopping days with a new sense of snugness thanks to your stunning mid-layer capturing elegance and insulation in equal measure. Whether you choose a men’s wool blend gilet for maximum warmth or the effortlessly feminine shape of a ladies’ polyester design, take on the day confidently with a gilet that perfectly encapsulates your country taste.
Crafting a casual style
Opting for a casual look does not equate to minimising elegance. Rather, you can experiment with more relaxed style variations while still implementing the same level of quality as you would with a traditional country wardrobe.
Dress down with a casual shirt
Choosing a ladies’ casual shirt as the base layer of your casual country look allows you to add subtlety while letting your tweed jacket do the talking. During the winter months, you can still master the perfect warmth with designs such as the Dubarry Bracken Tweed Coat, as the Teflon® coated wool protects you from the wet weather while the stand-up collar and storm flaps prevent the cold from creeping in.
The same can be said with a men’s casual shirt with its cotton construction keeping you safe from the chill. Although a tweed coat is ideal for heightening your warmth further, the Schöfell Holkham Check Shirt will pair nicely with a jacket, allowing you to maintain the sleekness of your outfit.
Keep cosy with a jumper
The possibilities of customisation with one of our jumpers for women or men are endless. While a checked jumper offers the perfect mix of casual, country and comfort, the neutral cream and brown tones enhance the design of your tweed jacket, making it the staple of your outfit. You can also craft your jumper as the mid-layer of your outfit by placing it over one of our women’s or men’s t-shirts, giving you extra warmth to feel fabulous in the depths of the colder periods.
Complete your casual look with a pair of jeans
An ever-reliable pair of jeans will surely round off your casual country look. Between our men’s Brocklehursts jeans and women’s Schöffel designs is a vast range of other top-quality brands that offer endless options for styling your outfit. Whether you select your jeans based on British heritage or want to experiment with a new brand for the first time, our denim's reliability will optimise your look even further, causing your casualwear to turn heads and have you standing out in a country crowd.
Rounding off your tweed look
The beauty of accessorising your outfit is that it is just as simple as choosing how to wear a tweed jacket. So, when it comes to selecting your footwear and accessories, take comfort in knowing that the versatility of your tweed will allow any additions to look perfect.
Choosing your footwear
Take full control of choosing your perfect footwear with our range of boots, offering limitless opportunities to show off your style. While a pair of women’s Chelsea boots or men’s Chukka boots can be catered to suit formal and casual occasions, a pair of hiker boots is the perfect practical choice when embarking on long adventures in the countryside.
Take on the weather with wellies
Want to truly tackle the winter weather? Why not find the perfect ladies’ or men’s wellies style with your tweed jacket? Our luxury wellies span across top brands, such as Aigle, Barbour and Le Chameau, and are certain to contain the ideal pair to enhance your look and show off your personal flair. With many of our wellies featuring neoprene lining, you can experience warmth from head to toe, raising the comfort of your winter wardrobe even further.
Accessorise your tweed jacket
Give your outfit a final edge with a stunning selection of accessories. While belts and socks are necessities all year round, our various colours of hats and gloves can match your tweed design for consistency, giving your style that final touch of completion.
How should a tweed jacket fit?
The fit of your tweed jacket depends on how you style your outfit and the time of year or weather conditions. Throughout the summer, a lightweight jacket will act as the perfect addition to complete your look and will most likely only have a single layer underneath it, like one of our women’s shirts or men’s t-shirts. When this is the case, a tweed jacket should sit comfortably over your outfit, giving it a sleek and elegant finish.
Alternatively, the colder months will require additional layering to keep you feeling warm and looking stylish. If you layer your look with one of our women’s jumpers or a cosy fleece, a looser-fitting jacket will provide room for all your extra garments while still radiating countryside luxury.
How to clean a tweed jacket
Many of our tweed jackets are made from 100% wool, so maintaining their material is essential to ensure optimum quality. We recommend taking your tweed jacket to your local dry cleaners when it is due for a quick clean, as the non-invasive cleaning methods will help to keep the wool looking and feeling new.
