Odd Muse Tweed Shorts in Black

Tweed shorts. Because apparently tailoring has decided trousers are optional. We’re very much in favour.

The Odd Muse Tweed Shorts in Black are women’s tailored shorts with a textured tweed finish and a polished, contemporary feel. Combining classic black tailoring with a playful shorter silhouette, they’re a brilliant alternative to skirts and trousers when you want something smart, feminine and just a little unexpected.

At BWD, we love pieces that make you rethink how you wear the clothes you already own. These aren’t just shorts for summer. Think tights, boots, beautiful knitwear and a fabulous matching jacket. Suddenly, tweed shorts make an awful lot of sense.

Why they made the cut

• The textured black tweed gives these tailored shorts a more elevated feel than everyday shorts.

• A brilliant alternative to a mini skirt, particularly if you prefer the practicality of shorts.

• Black makes them wonderfully easy to style with cream, grey, burgundy and chocolate brown.

• Perfect for creating a coordinated look with the Odd Muse Collarless Tweed Jacket in Black.

• Wear them with tights and boots when the temperature drops.

• A great way to bring a little femininity and fun into traditional tailoring.

• Smart enough for dinner, cool enough for daytime. We do love clothes with options.

How to wear the Odd Muse Tweed Shorts

Our first choice? The matching Odd Muse Collarless Tweed Jacket in Black, a simple cream top and loafers. A beautifully modern take on a classic tweed suit.

For autumn and winter, add sheer black tights, knee-high boots and the Samsøe Samsøe Boston Cashmere Jumper in Grey. The combination of soft knitwear and structured tweed is particularly good.

We’d also wear them with the Odd Muse Long Sleeve Knitted Top in Cream and pointed heels for dinner. Black tweed and cream knitwear — very chic, very little effort.

How do you wear tailored shorts in winter? The answer is tights, boots and clever layering. A fitted knit and structured jacket keep the proportions balanced, while opaque tights create a more understated look.

Can you wear tweed shorts for an evening out? Absolutely. Pair them with a beautiful fitted top, heels and simple jewellery. They offer all the polish of a mini skirt with a slightly cooler, more contemporary feel.

And don’t feel obliged to wear the matching jacket every time. We love a coordinated set, but we love getting our money’s worth even more.

Care

Follow the garment care label. Tweed-style fabrics benefit from gentle handling to preserve their texture and structure. Avoid unnecessary washing and use gentle steaming where permitted.
