Cozy Covering

With winter in full swing, one fabric that combats the cold with a familiar and cocooning touch is tweed. The material has its roots in 18th century Scotland, but has since been modernised and adapted on the runways in a myriad of silhouettes.

Below, the season’s most compelling takes on the traditional textile that will transport you to an idyllic environment—even if it’s just in your imagination.

English staples—the trench and tweed—reboot for 2020 with body-skimming silhouettes.
