Fashion faux-pas are always a question of interpretation as beauty is always in the eye of the beholder...


I've never had the opportunity, or courage (and, as yet, the age, I feel) to wear tweed. I'd be interested to hear on what occasions you would condone the fabric's wearing, and what style and colour of shirt and tie?

And sometimes the "beholder" needs to be directed to the nearest optometrists to have his "eye" corrected.

I agree with you and i was trying to be diplomatic...
I bought (20 years ago) a tweed jacket in a charity shop and i was wearing it with a pair of jeans ,a cashmere sweater and a pair of Weston Chasse.......
I thought at that time and being student ,that i was casual chic...
Being older and wiser , i do not do tweed at all..
