Argyle Is In Fashion Again

The argyle sweater is a classic piece in a preppy outfit, but this year I’m seeing fashion variations that look elegant, romantic, whimsical, and fun. Beyond the classic tri-color argyle, I’m seeing new color combinations and oversized patterns. And in addition to the usual sweaters and socks, I’m seeing argyle dresses, skirts, and accessories…

Argyle Dresses

My argyle dress is available at Boden and at Nordstrom (I’m wearing a regular size 4). It’s a fitted dress with a zippered front that makes it a little more relaxed. I love that the navy diamonds widen into solid color at the bottom of the skirt; it’s a fun little detail that makes the dress more interesting. The fabric is a machine-washable blend of 62% Viscose (LENZING™ECOVERO™) and 38% polyester.

If you’re looking for a short dress, Boden has a Crew Neck Dress, and Tuckernuck has a Polo Dress.

Oversized Argyle Patterns

The classic preppy outfit is an argyle sweater with chinos or a pleated skirt, and simple jewelry. This year, make it work for your personal style. Wear your argyle sweater with leather pants for an edgy look, a silk-and-lace midi skirt for a romantic look, or ponte pants for a comfortable work look. Add bold jewelry.

If you’re looking for a new argyle sweater, these oversized patterns look fresh and modern.

Colorful Argyle

Traditional argyle often combines blues, greens, grays, camels and whites. But this year, I’m seeing argyle patterns in bold colors and pastels too. Wear these sweaters with neutrals, or if you like a bold style, coordinate your bottoms with one of the colors in your sweater. The Splendid Pastel Crew Neck Sweater has matching Sweater Pants, making it a luxurious loungewear set.

If you like the traditonal colors but want something special, take a look at this elegant Embellished Argyle Sweater.

Argyle Skirts

Argyle skirts are also a fun way to wear the fashion trend this season. I’ve found some cute mini skirts and a beautiful wool-cashmere midi.

This J. Crew Skirt is another option and has a matching sweater.

Sweater And Scarf Sets

If a top and bottom are too much argyle for you, try this sweater and scarf set trend. This argyle Merino Wool Sweater has a matching fringed Scarf. Or try this burgundy Sweater with a matching Triangle Scarf. You can even get a sweater for your dog to match you!

Will you be wearing argyle this fall and winter? Let me know if you have something in your closet or are shopping for something new!
