Q: There’s a lot of tweed coming up for spring…but isn’t it a little too heavy for that? — Sam, Santa Monica

A: I just took our resort tweed Caterina Poncho with me on a trip to Myanmar and Thailand where it was warm. The key is finding a lightweight tweed that can work year-round as a great layering piece, whether you wear it as a cover-up with a bikini or over jeans and winter boots.
