13 Tweed Blazer Outfit Ideas

Tweed Coat Outfit Ideas

I think tweed is one of the most timeless and wonderful fabrics we have and over the years I have slowly built up a collection of tweed blazers. I’m thrilled it’s finally that time of year where I can pull them all out!

Tweed blazers to me are incredibly chic and stylish and require little to no effort to appear put together. It is likely why Coco Chanel popularized them back in the 90s. 

Tweed blazers are versatile and I love that they can be work ready if you are in an office environment or going to an important meeting but they can be just as casual, too and therefore perfect for relaxed settings. 

I find tweed blazers very Parisian in style and come Fall am always reaching for mine steadily for the next six months till summer once again arrives. 

So, if you’re like me and can’t get enough of tweed blazer and tweed jacket outfits, this post is for you! It should hopefully give you ideas on how to put the tweed blazers you own in your closet to work.

13 Tweed Blazer Outfit Ideas

Tweed Jacket with Black Trousers

A tweed lady jacket pairs perfectly with classic pair of black trousers. These pants from J.Crew have been a personal favorite and w&w bestsellers for years (for a reason!) Sarah Flint flats add the perfect ladylike touch (use code SF-MEGHAN for 15% off your first Sarah Flint order!) This jacket is from Mango, which always has a reliable collection of affordable tweed jackets and blazers!

Aqua Tweed Blazer

With Black Jeans & Kitten Heels

I generally wear a lot of neutrals most of the year and often will pair my plaid tweed blazers with black jeans that look like black pants but are a stitch more casual which suits my lifestyle. For this look, I added a pair of slingback kitten heels.

Springtime Tweed Blazer

I wear springtime tweed blazers, too! I look for blazers that have colors like cream or light blue or sage in them to make them more appropriate for warmer weather.

Monochromatic with a Ballet Flat

When styling a tweed jacket, I love a monochromatic moment! Pairing a white tweed lady jacket with white wide leg denim is an easy way to take your love of tweed blazers into Spring or Summer. The above tweed jacket from ba&sh is one of my closet MVPs, I own it in multiple colors!

MM.LaFleur Textured Tweed Jacket and Silk Tank

With a Silk Tank

A way to “lighten” the look of a tweed blazer outfit is to pair it with a more delicate, feminine silk tank. I think a good silk tank is an excellent Capsule Wardrobe Basic. I have them in both black and white and some with lace and some without lace.

The jacket shown here is from M.M.LaFleur.

Tweed Blazer Outfit Ideas

With a Patterned Shoe

A fun way to add flair and a bit of visual interest to a more plain tweed blazer outfit is to add a patterned shoe. Mine are the Sarah Flint Natalie Sling.

With a Cashmere Layering Tee

Perfect for transitional times of year, layer your favorite tweed blazer over a scoop neck sweater tee and add a cute pair of feminine flats.

With Jeans and a Tee

Is there anything better than the classic jeans and t-shirt combo? Adding a tweed blazer or jacket! This outfit is so simple yet impactful and represents my uniform when getting dressed most days in Fall thanks to how it is made up of French Wardrobe Staples For Fall. This is one of my go-to casual outfits!

Tweed Blazer with Stripes

The above jacket is more of a tweed cropped jacket than blazer but I love it paired with a classic striped shirt. I love the juxtaposition of a tweed blazer with a distressed, raw hem on a jean. You could also do ripped jeans that aren’t too distressed. 

And add a touch of glamour or visual interest on a monochrome tweed blazer by popping on a brooch.

Red Tweed Jacket

Longtime readers know I tend to stick to neutrals, but every now and then I make an exception for a pop of red! This exact tweed jacket isn’t available in red, but this or this would be good alternatives.

Plaid Blazer Tweed Fall Outfit in Paris

With Straight Leg Jeans and Slingbacks

If I wear a blazer with a straight leg jean I almost always add slingbacks. It ensures there is a long line created and that I don’t look too short. I am only 5’5″ so ensuring I don’t look too bogged down in a look is of the utmost importance as I get dressed.

As a Matching Set

I love a matching set, especially for a business casual moment.Pair a tweed jacket with a matching tweed skirt, and add ankle boots or knee high boots (as seen above). This set is from Veronica Beard. While their price point is a bit higher, the quality reflects it!

With a Ruffled Cuff Shirt

I think it is so darling to layer a ruffled collar or ruffled cuff shirt under a tweed jacket. It adds a bit of precious femininity. I’m wearing a light blue tweed jacket from Kate Spade above.

 

. . .

Clearly I tend to style my tweed blazers in more casual manners (hello, lots of jeans and trousers!) given my line of work. But if you work in a more corporate environment, you could try pairing a more cropped tweed blazer with a pencil skirt and I also love the idea of pairing one with black leather pants, too.

As you style them, keep in mind proportions as you’re choosing the pants or skirt and shoes you’ll be adding. You never want to add too much “bulk” to a look. Rather, you want your tweed blazer to be the most interesting element. That’s why I tend to keep my accessories minimal – this way you can let the tweed fabric really shine.

My personal go-to stores to look for tweed blazers are Zara, Mango, H&M , Talbots, Bloomingdale’s Aqua brand, ba&sh Paris, Ann Taylor, Veronica Beard, and J.Crew.
