Now
that autumn is distinctly upon us, our fashion thoughts turn to clothing in
different textures and colour palettes to make us feel warm and cosy. One of
the most classic weaves is currently having a renaissance, and that is – tweed.
Snazzy tweed |
Traditional tweeds are made to withstand a harsh climate and are commonly worn for outdoor activities like shooting and hunting, being moisture-resistant and durable. Beloved of the Royal Family, there is no keener a tweed wearer than Prince Charles!
Today’s
fashion tweeds encompass gorgeous autumn hues of berry, green, brown and
natural shades. The fabric is now being made into new trends of mini and midi
skirts, edgy jackets and warm capes. Worn with polo necks (again in fashion –
see Vogue Fashion
Trends), crisp
white masculine shirts, as well as mismatched patterns, tweed is hitting the
right target in women’s clothing stakes again.
And
whether it’s a cross-over from Downton Abbey, Sherlock or maybe even Doctor
Who, men are sporting tweed blazers and suits again too.
Get
Waisted’s Toni Pickles has been turning tweed into bespoke clothing for
clients who want something just a little bit different. Having trained in
Savile Row, Toni is adept at creating a tailored look for men and women, and
what better fabric to show off at this time of year than a sophisticated yet
surprisingly easy to wear tweed?
