Houndstooth is one of the most iconic patterns in fashion. This woven fabric was first worn by shepherds as camouflage because it made them look as though they were far away in the distance. Eventually, Houndstooth became a popular pattern of the upper-class society of the United Kingdom and is said to be a favorite of King Charles III. By the 1950s it became a favorite of Christian Dior's designs, and many other designers followed suit. Houndstooth gained international fame in the 1960s because of the optical illusion art movement. From 2010 onward this pattern has become a staple for ready-made and designer clothes, proving its timeless appeal. So get ready to experience Houndstooth like never before and to wear what you want to be.
