I probably wouldn't recommend a three-piece tweed suit for a guy in his mid-20s, but I don't see why a two-piece suit or a jacket would be too out of place. You might want to consider bolder patterns/cuts, depending on what you're going to be wearing the suit for. See Dashing Tweeds' on-line shop and blog for some examples of "youthful" tweed wearers: http://www.dashingtweeds.co.uk/dt/shop/

I wouldn't discourage any young person from wearing tweed, as I'm one willing to do so. I just haven't found anything that I fits what i'm looking for to purchase. It's a classy look, and if you have various places to wear a tweed blazer or suit to, then go for it. The most important element to consider with a younger individual is the cut, as pointed out before. As long as you keep that in mind you'll find something align with your desire.

I don't think you can ever be too young. I have a couple tweed blazers and I'm nineteen, wear them with dark denims and a decent t-shirt or plain chambray shirt most of the time. Don't think it looks out of place at all.

Don't know that I'd emulate this exact look, but these guys are young. http://www.rugby.com/shop/item.aspx?...719&cp=3138868 EZ

Now that I have the recommendation of

Depends on the fit. I wear a short, slim fit tweed blazer with my skinny jeans.

I just bought a grey herringbone tweed jacket that I think goes very well with jeans, better than brown IMO:

Tweed looks good on people of any age.

What a simple, elegant combo.

Tweed's all the rage this season, so there are plenty of youthful cuts out there, from J. Crew to the high-end makers.

The secret to not looking dowdy in tweed is not to buy a dowdy tweed coat.

I agree. Tweed looks good regardless of age.
