Style Guide: How to Wear Tweed for Fall
Originated in Scotland, the coarse woven cloth known as tweed was not always so popular amongst the fabulous and chic style mavens of the world. It wasn't until Coco Chanel borrowed the masculine fabric for her infamous tweed suits that the fabric took off through couture houses. What was once just a functional laborer's textile is now a runway worthy fabric and a favorite amongst many designers, so expect your favorite fast fashion stores to be filled with plenty of tweed options this fall.
Tweed Top:
W118 by Walter Baker Top, Free People Skirt - Vegan Leather Circle, H&M Hat, LC Lauren Conrad Ballet Flats (sale $24.97), Posh Locket FASH Gold Cuff ($30)
For summer lovers the fall wardrobe transition isn't always a welcomed change. The idea of packing on layers to keep warm can sometimes be super unflattering. A tweed top is the ideal piece to help keep you warm without worrying about fussy layers. Try rocking a tweed top with a contrasting collar to encompass two of the season's hottest trends.
Tweed Jacket:
Ted Baker Jacket, Equipment Adele Cherie Dot Blouse ($238.00), Ily Couture Bright Fuchsia Statement Necklace ($49), Denim American Rags, Heels- Candies
Equestrian-inspired ensembles are all the rage this season, placing tweed blazers at the top of the hot commodity list. For a blue ribbon worthy look, pair your blazer with a killer pair of riding boots. A simple tweed jacket can be a great investment piece, sure to serve your wardrobe for many years so don't feel too guilty when splurging on this classic item.
Tweed Skirt:
H&M Skirt ($24.95), House of Harlow 1960 Nicole Sunglasses ($125.00), Blouse - Black Label from Bloomingdales, Posh Locket Link Ring & Snake Ring
I'm a self-proclaimed skirt fanatic, so when fall and winter come it's quite a challenge for me to give in to what my chattering teeth are trying to tell me. A tweed skirt with knee-highs or tights is a great way to keep a look warm and comfy without partaking in a pants only fall wardrobe.
You've seen my favorite ways to wear tweed, how will you be wearing it this fall?

Adore all these looks, Anna. The first with the leather skirt is my favorite, because I've been on a leather kick lately. Great polyvors too!!!!

Great looks! I especially love the tweed jacket over polkadots. Great outfit for the workplace.

I love all the looks. Thank you, Anna! I will be wearing a tweed jacket with a mini-skirt and a white sheer blouse. For a more casual look I would pair it with a print tee and bright skinnies. For office sexy , I would team it with a red pencil skirt and a ensemble collar t-shirt! :) Xx

These looks are so lovely, Anna. I'm obsessed with the third, though I could see myself wearing the second most. Your style is on point here as always. And I agree with Varsi, I miss your two a week post.
