CHIC WAYS TO ROCK HOUNDSTOOT­H PRINTS

-

PG 22-23

HOUNDSTOOT­H AND CHAIN BLOCK PRINT The chain block prints in a compliment­ary colour palette will befriend your houndstoot­h without a second thought - especially if the two prints are contrastin­g in size. Layer a chain block shirt over your houndstoot­h mini skirt. You can’t go wrong if you keep same colour family.

Timeless is a bit of an overworked word in fashion circles, but when it comes to a print like the houndstoot­h, few others suffice. It’s a print that really does transcend seasons and eras unlike the fleeting trends that breeze in and out on a near-impossible-to-keepup-with basis. You can easily shine in classic houndstoot­h by pairing it with nothing but slick, solid black - but in the event that you feel like upping your print game to a higher level of complexity, the more fearless you choose to be, the better. If you’re looking for ideas on how to wear houndstoot­h like an expert, check out these outfits below.

HOUNDSTOOT­H AND TARTAN Feeling adventurou­s? It may sound out-there, but these two prints are tied together by something irrevocabl­y strong. Both houndstoot­h and the classic coloured tartan find a kind of harmony. If you do go this path, keep the rest simple. INIDIMA OKOJIE

HOUNDSTOOT­H AND POLKA DOT PRINT Match your polka dot prints to the size of your houndstoot­h for maximum cohesion between prints. And while you can safely keep it all

CLASSIC BLACK AND WHITE

Think the houndstoot­h print is tricky enough on its own? Take the safest route and wear it in black and white and a reversed order. This is a great, refreshing twist on the minimalist trend. It’s bold enough to

make a statement yet still has that subtle vibe because of the muted colours that are black and white.

HOUNDSTOOT­H AND CHECKS Houndstoot­h and classic checks are a match made in print heaven, so you don’t have to think twice about working the two together. A black-on-white houndstoot­h blazer over a check blouse is easy to pull off, and super effective. This is great for adding a chic and sophistica­ted touch to your look.
