The In-between Season for Tweed

The In-between Season for Tweed
As August waves its sweaty little hand goodbye and autumn starts creeping in like that one friend who always shows up unannounced, I find myself in the delightful in-between season where the weather can’t decide what it wants to be. Too warm for a coat, too chilly to go jacket-less — welcome to the tweed jacket’s time to shine!

The end of summer is like nature’s way of saying, “Okay, enough with the flip-flops; let’s get back to real clothes.” And what better way to transition than with my favourite fashion piece: the tweed jacket. Seriously, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s that one item in your wardrobe that makes you feel like you could casually solve a mystery, or at the very least, out-dress everyone at the farmer’s market.

Tweed is basically the fabric equivalent of a hearty soup—it’s warm, comforting, and makes you feel like you’ve got your life together. As soon as I throw one on, I’m ready for anything autumn throws at me—whether it’s a crisp breeze or an unsolicited comment about how “early” it is for jackets. (Please, it’s called fashion.)

Now, let’s talk about colours. Autumn is when I get to indulge in those deep, rich hues that make me look like I’m ready to jump into a pile of leaves at any moment. Burgundy, earthy greens, mustard yellows—these autumn colours pair perfectly with tweed, creating a look that says, “I’m here for the pumpkin spice, but I also have some serious style.”

Of course, no autumn outfit is complete without accessories, and this is where my collection of quirky brooches gets to strut its stuff. Last year, I stumbled upon some amazing vintage brooches while on holiday, and now I’m like a magpie—if magpies were obsessed with pinning tiny, shiny things to their jackets. These brooches add that extra touch of personality, making it clear that I’m not just another autumn enthusiast—I’m the autumn enthusiast.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: I’m not about that fast fashion life. Oh no, I’m here for the good stuff—pure wool, high-quality, well-crafted designs that last longer than a celebrity marriage. When it comes to building a wardrobe, I’m all about investing in pieces that will see me through multiple seasons and still look fabulous. My jackets? They’ll probably outlive me.

So, as we bid farewell to summer and start welcoming autumn with open, jacket-clad arms, I’m ready. Ready to embrace the cooler days with my trusty tweed, my stash of autumn colours, and a brooch collection that could rival a museum’s. This in-between season is my time to shine, and I’m stepping into it with all the confidence of someone who knows they’ve nailed the perfect transition look.

In conclusion: tweed jackets, autumn colours, sustainable fashion, and vintage brooches are the secret ingredients to owning this awkward, in-between season like a boss. Summer might be over, but with my favourite jacket and a commitment to style, I’m ready to tackle whatever autumn throws my way—preferably while looking like I just stepped out of a cozy fashion magazine.
