How can I transition my go-to tweed sport coats for spring?

As the seasons change, there’s no reason to let go of traditional tweed styles. Start by looking for a jacket that’s intended for warmer weather, one that’s crafted from lighter-gauge wool and features softer hues–light tan plaids, grey herringbones or pale green solids–that feel less rustic than typical fall tweeds. From there, pair the jacket with bright bleeding madras shirts, which are inspired by the traditional fabric from India. Or, opt for a crisp, slim polo for a look that’s sporty yet stylish. Pairing the blazer with a braided belt or faded denim on bottom keeps this look preppy, while a pair of surplus cargo pants provides a casual military vibe that’s also right for the season.
