Tweed brings texture and warmth that smooth wool cannot. Here is when it shines and how to wear it.
What tweed is
Tweed is a rougher, textured wool, often in checks, herringbone, or flecked patterns. It is warmer and more casual than smooth worsted wool, with a lot of visual character.
When to wear it
Tweed suits cooler weather, fall and winter events, and rustic or country weddings. In Florida's climate, a tweed sport coat is more practical than a full tweed suit, ideal for air-conditioned venues, cooler evenings, and travel to cooler places.
How to style it
A tweed sport coat pairs beautifully with wool trousers or dark denim, a knit tie, and leather boots or brogues. Keep the rest of the outfit simple so the texture stands out.
