Tweed suit for women
A bit of history
Tweed appeared in Britain about a hundred years ago. Initially, this material was used for the production of men's clothing - mainly suits, coats and hats. The legendary Coco Chanel was the first to use this fabric to sew women's suits with a jacket and a tight skirt. The style of the jackets was distinguished by a fitted cut, which gave femininity and style to the image. The first fashion show with tweed women's suits was held in 1954. It was comfortable clothing with a simple cut that did not restrict movement. Girls in such costumes looked elegant and feminine. It was then that tweed became one of the most popular materials for sewing women's suits. It is worth noting that the classic two-piece suit from Chanel is still made according to the old patterns that Coco Chanel herself used.

Fashion trends
Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld can experiment with the length of the skirt, sleeves, change the appearance of the collar, or get rid of it completely. Only tweed fabric is permanent. In the spring of 2016, the fashion designer presented a new collection of tweed women's suits in bright colors: pink, blue, light green. The collection was created specifically so that every woman can show her unique personality, style and exquisite taste. The autumn collection is characterized by restraint and special elegance and is presented in classic dark gray and black colors. The highlight of such models is bright embroidery in the form of flowers, which perfectly refreshes the image and gives it a more romantic look.
One of the fashion trends is the combination of a tweed jacket with various wardrobe items. For example, jackets go great with solid color trousers, straight or skinny jeans. Under the jacket, thin pullovers, turtlenecks and shirts are great. In this case, it is worth giving preference to calm colors. Young girls can experiment and create the most daring looks, which will show their individuality, sense of style and following fashion trends.
How to choose
When choosing a tweed suit, you should proceed from your body type. For example, tall and slender women may prefer suits with an elongated fitted jacket. Skirts in this case can be short, elongated (to the knee), or slightly flared. If you have chosen a trouser suit, then you can give preference to any style of trousers.Girls of short stature can afford models with a short jacket, up to waist level. Elongated skirts in this case should not be chosen, as they will make such girls more squat. Trousers can be used in a straight and tapered style.
It is worth remembering that tweed is still a dense and heavy fabric. Therefore, a too wide cut, patch pockets will make a full woman even more. In this regard, it is better for ladies with forms to give preference to straight styles, like skirts, trousers and jackets. A good option for such women will be more elongated models of jackets. They acquire such a style due to the elongated neckline of the jacket. Fat women in such a jacket model will visually look slimmer.
Choose the colors that suit you best and blend easily with your main wardrobe. Classic colors (gray, dark gray, black) of a tweed suit will give your image representativeness and elegance. Such a suit can be worn not only in the office, but also for festive events. It is worth remembering that it is better to choose bright colors for young girls, older women will look a little awkward in them.
In addition, when choosing a tweed suit, pay attention to how well it is sewn. All lines, trim details should be even, without protruding threads. Decorative elements, buttons, pockets, etc. must be of high quality and well sewn.
What to wear
Under a tweed suit, you need to choose classic discreet shoes with heels: shoes, ankle boots, high boots. If you choose the color of the shoes to match the color of the knots that are on the tweed, this will show your sophisticated taste.Silk and chiffon blouses and tops of classic colors are perfect for such a suit: black, white, as well as muted shades: pale pink, powdery. It is better to give preference to a free-cut blouse, tight-fitting models do not go well with a classic tweed suit. Choose small bags, for example, a clutch or an envelope clutch.
In cold weather, a tweed suit is best combined with a fitted or straight-cut coat. To this image, you can safely wear leather gloves, a light scarf. Of the hats, hats with small brim are perfect. Tweed goes well with the colors of natural materials. In this case, shoes and accessories can be chosen, for example, from beige and camel suede.
A tweed suit goes well with jewelry made of precious and semi-precious stones. You can give preference to the classic string of pearls, gold and silver chains, bracelets. Earrings are better to choose small, modest, which will emphasize the oval of your face. Massive jewelry made of jewelry does not go well with a tweed suit. Various silk scarves, interestingly tied around the neck, as well as brooches, will help to refresh your image. In this case, it is better to give preference to large brooches, as small forms will be lost against the background of tweed.
