HOUNDSTOOTH: IDEAS FOR THE PERFECT OUTFIT

Houndstooth: love at first sight

Raise your hand if you've never worn a houndstooth garment in your life!

Indeed, it's truly rare to find a woman who has remained immune to the allure of this timeless fabric. Hailing from 19th-century Scotland, this traditional and distinctive winter fabric technique owes its name to the French word for "hen's feet." The reason is simple: the well-known optical effect it conveys is reminiscent of chicken feet.

In its traditional black and white version, this very popular optical pattern is made primarily with typically winter fabrics, such as wool and man-made fibers. The design is achieved by contrasting the two colors of the threads, intersecting vertical and horizontal stripes, which, in turn, are formed by diagonal black and white fibers.

Houndstooth is a classic fabric that is well suited to both men's and women's tailoring, such as trousers, skirts, and suit jackets: this pattern can make everything elegant, with a retro touch.

However, today, the most original and imaginative women are clamoring for houndstooth to create alternative and trendy looks . In fact, it lends itself perfectly to both elegant and more informal outfits , depending on the chosen combinations.
