    Smile Vest and jacket match?

    Does anyone have any pictures of someone wearinga tweed jacket with a non-matching vest? I am trying to figure out the types of non-identical but complimentary ways to pull off this look.

    If you didn't mean tweed jacket with not matching tweed vest, than I have an example with leather vest.

    You can't see much of the (black) vest in this photo, but it's the best I have right now. The topmost vest button is there...

    Another option you might consider is a simple sweater or sweater vest -- V-neck, crew-neck or even cardigan.

    Re: Vest and jacket match?

    I don't have a matching tweed jacket and vest, so I'm never matching It looks fine to me, though perhaps not as well put together as the matching set. My tweed vest is a full shade darker than the jacket because trying to get two tweeds that weren't cut from the same cloth to match would be a nightmare. Tartan to match the kilt is one way to go or an Argyle sweater, when I'm wearing a solid colour kilt.
