Houndstooth

Houndstooth is a powerful way to create a visually timeless impression of wealth, prestige, and success. Bringing classic visual interest to the often drab colors of Winter wardrobes, houndstooth pairs very well with strong blocks of color and animal prints. Large houndstooth patterns work well on leaner body types; smaller prints have more universal appeal. In selecting wardrobe for a meeting to close the deal on a new business affiliate relationship, the aura I wanted to cast is what I call 'approachable powerful elegance' with a pop of girly freshness. Introducing a yellow accent was a good way to convey a vibrant air of satisfaction without uttering a word. To introduce the bold print of houndstooth into your wardrobe you might consider accents like a scarf, handbag, leggings, or belt.
