Houndstooth Head To Toe

Houndstooth, with its distinctive, well-known black and white broken check patten is having a popularity resurgence. Managing to be both retro and modern, it’s a fun alternative to plaid. Here are some ways to embrace this fashion trend using as little or as much as you’d like.

Houndstooth Head To Toe

Houndstooth isn’t limited to black and white. This smart cloche hat from Bonnie’s Knitting is made in dark hunter green houndstooth. The undulating waves in the vintage plastic buckle make a terrific accent.

Love the contrast of the substantial patten on the lightweight sheer crinkle fabric that Poison Pear used for this circle scarf. She’s screenprinted her hand drawn tree pattern in aqua to add a pop of color.

Tiny charcoal grey and black houndstooth is the basis for these Shadow Boxer arm warmers. The cotton rayon knit fabric is stretchy and lightweight, perfect for all year round. They’re available from Zen and Coffee.

Or how about an armful of these bright and graphic bangles? Royallayn starts with a wooden frame then hand wraps it with fabric, thread and suede cording.

Shoe clips are an easy, cost-efficient way to punch up your wardrobe. I know you’ve got a pair of black pumps, so breathe new life into them with these houndstooth bows from TheGlambox. Bonus: They’re part of a collection made from at least 90% recycled, upcycled and repurposed components and fabrics.

As long as we’re accessorizing, let’s go all the way to our coffee cups! This reusable coffee cozy in sunshine yellow and aqua is definitely not your grandmother’s houndstooth. Available from One in the Hand.

Finally, this custom made pure wool coat is an absolute show stopper. The asymetrical lines at the hip and collar give it modern interest and keep the print from being overwhelming. Send your measurements to yystudio and let her get started on a coat for you!

Happy Stalking!
