Trend Report: Houndstooth

Tuesday, February 28, 2012
I am in love with Houndstooth! I think it is so classy and chic! It’s too die for! It’s also a craze right now amongst celebrities like Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian. 


















Throughout several decades the trend has been reinvented and modernized to include a substitution of different colors, worn on a number of different pieces of clothing, and even as a nail design. And once high end designers like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, and Moschino started to use the trend in their collections in the 1990′s; it became highly popularized and worn by Hollywood celebrities.  

The check has been splashed across a multitude of fabrications, seen on tweed texture pants and a slinky silk shirts, there’s something both modern and classic about it.  Pick one piece and keep the rest of the outfit clean and neutral—houndstooth is bold enough to be the sole focal point or a houndstooth accessory, like a handbag or scarf, to keep you from being overwhelmed.
