Houndstooth dress

Such a print as "houndstooth" is one of the most popular today. Outfits in this color will be a win-win option if you need to get both an elegant and effective look.



Peculiarities
A goose foot, also called a broken cage, chicken or rooster's foot, and glencheck, can often be seen at fashion shows. At the same time, a successful outfit with such a print should be made of dense fabric with a clear silhouette. The pattern in the places of darts and seams must be connected correctly.

There should be a minimum of cuts on such a dress, and all folds should be well fixed. If you choose a maxi dress made of flowing fabric, then even the smallest houndstooth print will look out of place and smudged.


Dresses with this print are festive, cocktail, casual and office. It all depends on the style of the product, as well as the accessories used with it. There are also models in which the "goose foot" is complemented by inserts of a plain fabric. In such a dress, you can influence the visual perception of the silhouette and figure flaws.



Who is this pattern suitable for?
A well-fitting dress with a houndstooth print helps to hide flaws in the figure. In such an outfit, chubby girls, if they choose a small broken cage, will look slimmer, more attractive and feminine. And thanks to the use of a large pattern, you can add volume to the figure.


Fabrics
Outfits with a houndstooth print are most often sewn from dense fabrics, such as wool or thick knitwear. Much less often, such a pattern is present on thin cotton fabric.



Length
Long to the floor
Such outfits can be seen infrequently, while the most common dresses "crow's feet" to the floor are distinguished by the presence of a long sleeve. Some models have a black belt.


Midi
Dresses with this print with medium length are much more common than long ones.

They are presented in different styles, for example, a model with a flared skirt, a sheath dress or a straight silhouette dress. Outfits with black inserts are very elegant, for example, it can be black sleeves or a black collar.





A short
A houndstooth outfit with a miniskirt looks laconic and attractive. Such dresses can have a strict cut or a free, voluminous skirt. Such a short dress with openwork sleeves or with a contrasting collar looks interesting. On some models, sleeves may be missing or made from a different fabric.



Popular colors
Houndstooth pattern combines two contrasting colors. The most common combination of black and white.

However, the colors of houndstooth dresses can also include burgundy, blue, terracotta, chocolate and other shades. The dress also looks interesting, in the drawing of which there are more than two colors, and matte and glossy broken cells of the same shade are combined.




Rules for creating an image
- Remember that this print affects the visual perception of the figure. If the "goose foot" is located diagonally, in clothes with such a pattern, the girl will appear slimmer, and due to the direct arrangement of such a pattern, the figure will visually expand.
- "Houndstooth" looks very contrasting, therefore it attracts attention. Clothes in such a print will dominate the ensemble and should be combined mainly with monochromatic things. Also, such a print can be combined with an ornate pattern, for example, with a paisley pattern.
- Houndstooth with a large step looks more expressive and bright. If the dress has just such a print, you need to pick up the rest of the garments for your image with maximum attention.
- Since the houndstooth pattern has aristocratic features, such a pattern should only be on expensive and high-quality outfits.



What to wear with?
- Houndstooth print goes well with shades of pink and beige. Also, when choosing outerwear for a dress with such a pattern, you can pay attention to shades of red. A similar outfit looks good with a black jacket or black coat.
- Black long gloves will be a very effective addition to the houndstooth.
- A black belt, a black handbag and dark glasses should be chosen for a knitted dress "crow's feet". The resulting image will be both feminine and austere.
- With a short flared outfit, you can wear dark leggings or leggings.
- A bold addition to black and white models can be a red scarf.






Shoes
For the houndstooth print, dim shoes would be the best option. A good choice for black and white along with such a pattern would be white or black shoes. These can be pumps, high boots or ankle boots.





Accessories
Large accessories of bright colors, for example, red or orange, are successfully combined with a black and white dress in a houndstooth. You can also choose white or black accessories for this outfit.
