General Advice for Summer Tweed
Choosing a Summer Tweed Suit or Jacket
When wearing a tweed jacket or suit in the summer, stay away from darker colours as this will make the overall outfit wintry. Summer tweeds include lighter coloured greens and browns, and a touch of light blue in the tweed lends itself to a summer outfit. A summer tweed jacket can also be made from a lighter weight tweed, look for a tweed weighing under 430 grams.
