This Fall's Top 5 Tweed Jacket Accessories

The British sci-fi sensation Doctor Who has everyone discussing the attributes of the tweed jacket. The big uproar about the authentic Harris Tweed used on the show and the newest version (that was created in China) has allowed the true quality of the genuine Harris tweed to become more appreciated than ever. This Scottish fabric appears to be a variety of colours when it is actually handmade thread that is hand-woven into tweed cloth which creates a depth of differing shades of the colours that are chosen. Whether you are going for cool or strictly sophisticated, accessories make the man, so here are your ideal fall accessories.

 

Tweed Jacket- Neckties and Bowties

 

This refers to not only the average knotted necktie but to ascots and bowties as well.  Because of the variety of colours that appear in a tweed jacket, the actual colours of the neckwear chosen should relate to your tastes as well as pulling from the colours of your jacket. Darker tones need brighter ties and vice versa.

 

The Functional and Stylish Scarf

 

A true fashion renewal is the use of scarves with the tweed jacket. Nothing makes a memorable fashion statement like functionality and style simultaneously. Standing out in the cold with harsh winds can be assisted with a functional and handsome scarf. Pairing a finely made scarf together with your stylish tweed jacket is the perfect attention getter for your fall wardrobe.

 

Belts

 

Regardless of whether you are wearing a standard sports coat or tweed jacket, your belt should always match your shoes and be manufactured from the same high quality leather. The good news is that when matching them with tweed material you can move beyond the uses of the standard black or brown belt.

 

Quality Tweed Jacket- Watches

 

The type of watch you choose is a personal preference; however, the quality of the watch should match the quality of the tweed jacket. Do not follow the thought process that as long as it tells time that it will suffice. This leads to the purchase of a cheap watch that can actually detract from the look you are pulling together with your tweed jacket. Spend the money for a timepiece that is going to last a minimum of 10-20 years. Brands such as Movado, Rolex, and Gucci are a few of our favourites.

 

Waistcoats

 

While this is not exactly an accessory, waistcoats are making a fast comeback in the fashion realm. This is the perfect addition to your wardrobe that allows you to go from casual social parties to a formal affair with just a few added accessories.

These five basic accessories are the best start to enhancing the overall look of your tweed jacket. Transitioning from cool to sophisticated is effortless with these items. If you are looking to go a step further, include the right set of shoes, a distinct pair of socks and a smart set of glasses. Accessories are in, so start using them to your advantage.
