Lately, I've been attracted to the houndstooth or dogstooth pattern. This pattern of fabric has its roots in Scottish history and dates as far back as the 1800's originally made of woven wool and was worn by the upper class in the 1930's symbolizing wealth. As a result of this, wearing the houndstooth actually made it possible for people to build wider networks and business connections at social events back then. (Interesting!)
It's traditional form was in black and white duo tones, but has been recreated in brighter and more playful colors. Designers such as Christian Dior, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Chanel amongst others have used it in many of their collections till date, and it keeps getting re-invented from over time.
So get your houndstooth outfit now, I just did. *Winks* ;)

Houndstooth originated in the early 1800's, this Scottish print is modeled after the irregular shape of a hound's tooth (get it?). It became a sign of wealth in the 1930's and was first used commercially by Christian Dior, himself!.
