For an Office or Smart-Casual Look

Tailored Trousers

Match your jacket with slim-fit trousers in neutral shades like grey, navy, or black. It creates a sharp yet professional appearance.

Button-Down Shirt

A crisp white or light-colored shirt adds a refined touch. For added flair, go for patterned shirts like subtle stripes or checks.

Footwear

Brogues or oxfords are perfect for this look. What started off as a classic piece from Chanel, has now transported its way into numerous brands including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Sandro and more.

What did the jackets come about?

Tweed jackets originated in Scotland and Ireland during the 18th century. The fabric, made from wool, was initially developed by rural communities as a durable, warm material ideal for the harsh weather conditions in the British Isles. The name is thought to have come from a misinterpretation of the Scots word “tweel,” meaning “twill,” a fabric weave pattern, when a London merchant mistakenly thought it referred to the River Tweed in Scotland. The association with British country life and style continues to make tweed jackets a timeless piece in modern wardrobes.
