Tweed trousers

Tweed fabric appeared in the Victorian era in England. She immediately fell in love with many inhabitants of foggy Albion for its strength, softness and ability to keep warm. The famous writer Arthur Conan Doyle, Scottish by birth and the "parent" of Sherlock Holmes, greatly appreciated tweed clothing. Equipping the famous detective with a tweed cap, he made this fabric even more popular and beloved all over the world.

Initially, tweed suits were an attribute only of men's wardrobe, and were clothing for hunting. Over time, such sets began to be made for everyday life, and women who easily adopt a man's outfit, of course, did not bypass tweed trousers.

Today, tweed trousers are one of the must-have items in a winter wardrobe.

They warm perfectly, are very pleasant to the skin and practically do not wrinkle. In addition, this fabric, made according to the proprietary English technology, has different densities and several types of textures, which allow you to create very stylish and practical models.

Wide trousers made of tweed are almost a classic model, which was made popular by the unsurpassed Madame Chanel. Known for her revolutionary views on fashion in general and women's wardrobe in particular, she easily transferred tweed trousers from men's collections, slightly modifying and making their style more feminine.

Wide tweed trousers, unlike products made from other materials, do not make a figure that already has extra pounds. This is achieved through a special cut and the right combination of the ensemble - an elongated jacket or jumper will be the best companions for such trousers.

Tweed skinny trousers are a model that goes well with fitted blazers and vests. Being clothes for the cold season, in this combination, tweed trousers will give warmth and comfort to their owner even in the most severe frost. In addition, putting on this model, you can very successfully emphasize the dignity of your figure, because a distinctive feature of tweed is the ability to visually make the volume smaller than it actually is.

The most popular types of tweed are:

Donegal - a fabric in which the main thread of one color is intertwined with two weft threads of other shades. Thanks to this, a small pattern is created with an abundance of knots, where one color predominates, most often gray.

Harris - a kind of tweed, which can be of various shades. Truly Scottish fabric with a colorful pattern and a high degree of wear resistance.

Cheviot... This species gets its name from the breed of sheep, from the wool of which the fabric is made. Most often, the color of these animals is black or gray, so unpainted cheviot tweed trousers will perfectly fit into any business look.

Pepita, or Shepherd's cage - a material that has a characteristic pattern in the form of a small cage. Initially, it was black and gray, but over time, manufacturers diversified its colors somewhat, adding green, dark blue and brown shades to the assortment.

Herringbone... Already from the name it becomes clear what this material is associated with. Most often made in green, this fabric is popular with American clothing manufacturers. Shades of this type vary from light green to almost brown, but the invariable texture in the form of stripes intersecting at an angle will not confuse this fabric with any other.

Tweed trousers will help to create an elegant look that will include elements of retro style and the now popular Casual. They will be most successfully combined with such a top:

• Warm jacket or chunky knit sweater;
• Elongated cardigan;
• V-neck pullover;
• Blouse made of thick cotton or jersey.

When putting together an ensemble, remember that a voluminous top should be combined with tight-fitting or straight trousers, and vice versa - wide models are best worn with clothes, the style of which does not imply a loose or flared cut.

For footwear, opt for modest pumps or neutral-colored boots.

A great fall combination - wide-leg tweed trousers and a cropped navy jacket. The image looks neutral, but at the same time unusually stylish.

A perfect example of the use of tweed trousers in a business ensemble. The straight model in gray paired with a fitted plaid blazer creates an austere look that adds a bit of variety. A pair of tan suede ankle boots complements this look with a blazer print.

An incredibly interesting look, in which the combination of gray tweed elements of clothing is in harmony with the purple check of the jacket. This look can be worn in everyday life, drawing attention to yourself with completely neutral things in a bold combination.
