How to introduce tweet into office wardrobe

Thread Starter 
I recently started my first job out of college, and am required to wear suits every day. I made the mistake of buying a black suit, and my only other suit is a navy pinstripe. I am looking to buy new suits, but my major qualm is long rise pants and jackets with low arm holes. Anyways, I want to wear tweed for the fall and winter, but I feel as though I need to transition into those. How can I improve my wardrobe to achieve this?

Tweed is inherently a "country" fabric. If your workplace is fairly strict about dress (for example, a London banking position), you may want to consider avoiding tweed in the office. Otherwise, if you think it would be accepted in your workplace, it might be best to stick with gray tweeds and avoid browns which are even more associated with country life. Full tweed suits are getting rare, so you could just get a tweed jacket and wear it with odd trousers.

What tgt said...unless you're in academics or a writer or something else that doesn't require you to be in conservative business dress...basically, if you're in an office that requires you to wear a suit, you probably shouldn't wear a tweed suit. Check out the CBD thread for inspiration. I'm pretty sure you'll see zero tweed there.

As a better substitute however, you should definitely get a gray flannel suit. Has nice texture, looks great, is warm for fall and winter.
