Men's Tweed Suits

When wearing a tweed suit, choose shoes that complement the fabric's textured look. Classic brogues or Oxford shoes in brown or tan leather are excellent choices. These styles are more traditional, which means they work well with tweed. For a more casual look, go for a pair of boots, like chukka or Chelsea boots, in a similar colour palette. 

You can wear a tweed suit all year round, especially a tweed blend that’s a little lighter than your average style. That being said, a tweed suit works really well for the cooler months, thanks to its thick, insulating properties. It’s perfect for outdoor events, weddings or semi-formal occasions where the rustic style works really well, especially if you choose a more formal three-piece suit. You can wear them for work or social events too as tweed can be dressed down if needed. 

Tweed is a great fabric for a suit, especially for cooler weather. It’s hard wearing, warm and looks great dressed up. It also has a rich history and associations with tradition that can help you to elevate your style. You can wear it anywhere.

When wearing tweed, avoid overly shiny or sleek fabrics, as they can clash with tweed's matte, textured finish. For example, silk ties or pocket squares might look too formal and out of place. Instead, opt for wool, cotton or knit accessories that match tweed's rustic look. If you’re going somewhere formal, avoid pairing tweed with casual items like graphic tees or trainers. Stick to complementary, traditionally styled garments to maintain a cohesive and stylish appearance.

Tweed is a warmer and heavier fabric than alternatives like linen or cotton. It’s been designed to be warm, so if it’s a really hot day, you might be best swapping your tweed for another option, such as a linen suit. However, tweed blend fabrics are considerably lighter and more breathable, so these are an option if you really want to wear tweed in warmer weather.
