Reasons To Choose Tweed Wedding Suit

If you think of tweed, you'll probably picture an old-fashioned gentleman from the country strolling through the gardens of his home, adorned and carrying a shotgun on his shoulder.

Fortunately, that's not the situation. Television shows such as The Crown and Peaky Blinders have brought tweed back into the fashion world, which is why more grooms are opting for tweed wedding suits.

Background of the tweed

Tweed can be described as a coarse and tightly-woven woolen fabric that has an elastic texture.

It was first referred to as"tweel" (Scots meaning twill) because it was weaved with a twill rather than a plain.

One theory about the change of name suggested a London merchant during the 1890s misinterpreting the word tweel in the 1800s as tweed and believed that the name came directly from the River Tweed that runs across the Scottish Borders textile area. In the end, the tweels he offered could be advertised as tweed. Eventually, the name stuck.

Being waterproof and durable made tweed the perfect choice for the country, which is why the British elite wore it for hunting and shooting.

Tweed today

Like many things rooted in British history, tweed is being re-imagined to appeal to a contemporary market.

The recent craze for nostalgia, particularly given how popular the TV show Peaky Blinders, has reintroduced the traditional lines and fit fashions of old-fashioned suits. This perfectly matches the current trends in rustic and vintage weddings.

For couples who are getting married in a formal location or at a country house is the ideal dress to go with the theme and the venue.

The all-weather suit

Only some have the opportunity to have a wedding in beautiful weather. If you take into account weather conditions in British conditions, then you're less likely to have it!

Because of its tightly knit fibers, tweed is an elegant and fashionable way to stay dry and warm without adding bulk to layers of clothes. It also means that a tweed dress is ideal for fall and winter weddings.

The style of a wedding dress in tweed

If you're looking to go for a head-to-toe tweed look or include a few elements in your wedding dress, once you've found the perfect proportions, tweed can be the key to a successful wedding.

One option is to utilize tweed as the motif for the groomsmen. However, mix and match the colours and accessories, and styles to prevent everyone from wearing the same.

You can also combine tweed with other fabrics to create your style. A tweed-colored waistcoat and a jacket made of pants that aren't tweed?

It's important to remember that beige isn't just one color of tweed. Tweed in grey or blue tweed is a stylish alternative.

Accessories for a wedding dress

Accessories can be an excellent option to spice up the monotony of an all-tweed style. Contrasting ties that pop and bright pocket squares can add an explosion of color.

In the winter months, you can take advantage of the decrease in temperature to put on some stylish seasonal accessories such as knitted ties or scarves.

In the wake of the popularity of Peaky Blinders, a tweed cap has also begun to gain popularity as a fashion accessory.
