This Neutral Jacket Is Anything But “Boring”
Of course, it’s important to stay on top of Spring fashion color trends. Some colors like Soft Lilac and Sky Blue are in; others are out. And that’s the thing about fashion trends, really. In and out, out and in. But colors that never go out of style, no matter the trends: neutrals. Yup, I’m talking blacks, whites, and grays. Ok, I know what you’re thinking: we’re just heading out of Winter and into Spring. Why are you featuring a neutral-based outfit? Simple: I’ve got a neutral tweed jacket today that’s anything but boring. And it’s a perfect transition piece as we leave February behind us and enter into the springtime months. Without further ado, here’s that tweed jacket styled two different ways.
Spring fashion color trends
Today I’ve got one tweed jacket (on sale!) styled two ways—both keeping with our neutral theme. The first jacket is layered with a black merino sweater from Banana Republic, paired with tuxedo pants from Ralph Lauren. A perfect monochromatic combo that you can wear just about anywhere, really. And, of course, accessories can provide the perfect but subtle counterbalance with a metallic pop. I’ve found this similar, layered necklace (similar) that will set off any similar outfit.

The second look is the yin to the first’s yang. I’ve swapped the tuxedo pants for white denim and the sweater for a tee. Again, accessories and shoes take the outfit over the top. I love metallic sandals this year—or any year for that matter because they act as a neutral.

This is a great tweed jacket! Initially, I was going to add “maybe not for your first tweed jacket” but it is a bargain & striking! The Bloomingdale site shows the back of the jacket. Tweed jackets are a great investment!
tweed jackets are classic and timeless so always money well spent!
I love the idea, but the jacket does not work for me, nor honestly does it strike me as neutral. My mom had an outfit that featured pants with one white leg and one dotted one: I never thought to see anything like it again. The other pieces are nice., especially the white trousers. I can’t wait for Spring in NE, which despite our current temp, is more than a month away.
hmmmm, last i checked white and black were considered neutrals. if you don’t like the jacket we linked several other options in the post.
Love that jacket! So fun, classic and edgy all in one. Kind of like Coco Chanel meets Cruella deVille in a very cool way! Great find!
good analogy!
I’m wondering about the length of pants in general. I notice in your pics here that your pants sit just past the heel of your shoe. I wear ankle length pants usually so maybe I am just not used to a longer pant. ( I am 5’7″) I recently saw a picture of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and her pants were very wide and covered her entire shoe. I thought it looked like too much fabric around her legs and feet. What are your thoughts?
it all depends on the silhouette of the pant. ankle pants should hit your ankle. trousers with a wider leg (like today’s pant) should cover the heel of your shoe. cropped wide-leg pants can either hit your ankle or above your ankle. maybe a blog post is in the making.
Very interesting, never seeing a jacket like that
Cute,it looks very nice on you.
Thank you beth
I wasn’t going to comment but I had to say I love that jacket! What an interesting and different look. I love it!!
And it does go with black or white pants.
I like tweed jackets. I have one in pale pink. I do not know if I am brave enough to buy one that is half white and half black. I have to maybe get use to the idea. Need to think on this more. Looks nice on you.
Hi Beth, the whole outfit looks fabulous on you. I do love the jacket but unlike you, I have a pooch or menopot! What would you suggest for wearing shorter jackets? What are your thoughts? (I have an injured lower back so have never been able to tighten up my tummy muscles with exercise unfortunately).
