Best Houndstooth Clothing and Accessories for Fall 2019

Here’s how the fashion world works. Florals are for spring and gingham is for summer. And if there’s one pattern that simply screams fall and winter, it’s houndstooth. There’s no question that Chanel is behind the iconic print’s continued popularity. After all, that runway crasher who disrupted the brand’s Spring 2020 show slipped on a houndstooth set to blend in with the models. But the French fashion institution isn’t the only label relying on the instantly recognizable pattern. Gucci, Marni and Balenciaga have all embraced it. But this isn’t the houndstooth your grandmother used to wear. No longer restricted to basic black and white, brands have been giving it a modern twist via trendy colors and fresh silhouettes. There are even houndstooth bucket hats. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re officially proclaiming houndstooth the pattern of the season. Here are our favorite picks to wear straight through winter.
