Tweed is originally an Irish and British piece of clothing. It was primarily used for making outdoor clothes, such as hunter jackets or pants. The main reason for that was because this material is both water-resistant and very durable.
Ater Coco Chanel has used the tweed for the famous collection of blazer and skirts, other big brands in the fashion industry started using it as well.
If you think that this material is still reserved only for hunters, you are not quite right. It is still used in Britain, and the fashion girls adore it! Few seasons back, the tweed skirt has returned on the runway shows, and it dominated every season from then.
I’ve chosen some of the best outfit ideas to show you how to wear this traditional garment.
