Forays into the city needn’t mean that all memories of the shire must be left at the periphery of the M25. Tweed is now indisputably stylish, the countryside is fashionable and ladies can look sharp yet traditional at the same time.
The Field has compiled a sharp little selection of items that can be used together or separately for a look that works in both city and country. Tweed is very much on trend, especially now that classic styles have been updated with modern, flattering cuts. Country style for ladies in the city? Look no further.
