Tweed… and Tweets

in Around Town, Culture, Parties/Events

It’s a rough, unfinished weave of fabric that’s making a fashion comeback… as well as a trendy social takeover.  Tweed.

Over 800 people in “vintage garb”  participated in Sunday’s 3rd annual DC Tweed Ride, a fancypants gathering traditionally organized by the Dandies & Quaintrelles (and now supported by various and sundry sponsors).  It was a day for mustaches and mid-length skirts, jodhpurs and suspenders, fascinators and sport coats; “refined style and purposeful living…” as the social group attempts to convey.

It was also a day for taking clothing trends and making conversational ones.  Tweeders in DC succeeded at creating a trending topic for a short while on Twitter.  Character count and thread count collide!

The annual bicycle ride (or run as has been adopted in some surrounding states) is a complementary social celebration to its warmer weather Seersucker Social in the Spring.
