English elegance: bags to tweed suits

Choosing accessories to an available suit gives a woman a great pleasure. Bags, gloves, scarves and neckerchiefs are the very things that help to create an individual image, emphasize pure taste (or, alas, its absence) of their owner. And a woman’s bag is something like a visiting card and must-have of any suit. Try to take away a bag from a well-dressed self-confident lady, and she will be confused. Not in the least because there are useful things, mobile phone and cosmetics in the numerous partitions, but because this accessory is the most important part of her image.

Formal tweed clothes – choose a bag

Elegant classical tweed two-piece suits (a jacket and a skirt) are comfortable clothes that are appropriate in the workplace. To this suit a bag made of genuine leather or suede should be chosen. On the one hand, fashion trends should be taken into account; on the other hand, unspoken rules for the representatives of the business world should not be forgotten. Reserve and compactness are the designer features of the modern bags. Thus, in this season tweed suit can be matched to the following models:

• rectangular clutch bag;
• reticule with two small half-round handles;
• business case;
• satchel

Modern business clutches are large and functional, so all the necessary things easily go in two or three partitions. The front side of a fashionable bag can be decorated with embossment, metal clinches or a lock in original form. No tassels, fringe, applications or sparkles are allowed. The main adornments are soft polished leather and an elegant shape that are beautiful on their own and speak for the ideal quality of goods. The less bright decorations there are, the more expensive the brand is, and this is an axiom.

Bag’s colour does not depend on the colour of the suit but it should be in the same colour-grade with shoes, neckerchief, belt and other accessories.

Tweed bags

It is not obligatory, to choose tweed bags to a tweed suit. Modern models made of hard fabric can be considered more like versatile accessory of casual style that is suitable for sport and common clothes. For this very reason the youth like soft and extremely durable tweed bags so much.

In this season tartan (blue and brown on the front side) is especially popular. Products with leather tassels or with textured pattern on the front side are also in good demand. The main ground is traditional houndstooth.

Small tweed bags are appropriate for a romantic walk, going to the cinema or meetings with friends in a café. They can be worn with any casual clothes for autumn or spring (jeans, breeches, windbreakers, jumpers, trousers). There are also backpacks made of sole-coloured or checked tweed for family trips to the country. Tweed is always relevant and especially elegant in different designer variants. For this reason it is in fashion for more than hundred years.
