How to style your tweed handbag effortlessly

From soft pastel tones to elegant monochrome styling, here’s how to wear a tweed handbag for every season and occasion.

Daytime styling: Wearing a standout tweed handbag with a lowkey outfit

Feeling ‘put together’ while you go about your day just means mastering the art of low-key styling, and your tweed bag could be key to this. Our blue and white tweed handbag is probably our top choice for this kind of look, as it pairs so well with simple, understated outfits. The blue tones through this beautiful tweed handbag almost work like a neutral, and they look quietly sophisticated when worn with denim, crisp whites and tailored beige pieces.

Our outfit choices for this kind of vibe would be to pair your tweed bag with straight-leg jeans and a white oversized shirt, adding a camel trench coat for a quintessentially British look, finished with white trainers.

Opt for a colour block moment for your next girls night out

Our pink and white tweed handbag has an undeniably feminine, playful feel to it, while still looking super refined. The soft pinks woven in this bag are versatile because they work beautifully across spring, summer and even winter wardrobes - don’t shy away from colour in the colder months! We think this bag would be perfect for any kind of girly get together, and a colour block could give you a really unique look. Pair this pink tweed bag with a sage green top and white or cream wide leg trousers, with a belt that has pink tones through it or pink ballet flats to tie the outfit together. You don’t have to overwhelm the outfit by opting for the same shade throughout - don’t shy away from experimenting with colour,

Formalwear styling for your new tweed handbag

Got a wedding or garden party coming up in the next couple of months, and looking to build your outfit vibe? Our yellow and lilac tweed handbag is, in our experts opinion, the best suited option for this - and there’s lots of ways it can be styled! Yellow and lilac may sound like a bold combination, but the way the fabric has been woven together actually creates a lovely, soft, pastel palette that feels fresh, modern and is surprisingly wearable.

You can either make the bag the focal point of the outfit, or you can bring the bag into your chosen colour palette.. If your summertime event isn’t a wedding, consider pairing this bag with soft neutral shades like ivory, oatmeal, or stone - a neutral, satin slip dress is a stunning textural contrast with this particular tweed bag. If you’re a wedding guest, you might want to pick out one of the shades and build your outfit around it. Butter yellow is still having a big moment, and we’re expecting to see lots of it at summer weddings. You could pair the bag with a ruffled, butter yellow maxi dress, and choose lilac or cream accessories to complement the whole look. Dainty, delicate gold jewellery will bring some warmth to the outfit.
