What’s old is new again! Argyle prints are no longer only seen on Christmas socks or your grandpa’s sweaters. Now we see argyle-patterned clothing everywhere in preppy, sporty and Y2K styles! For fresh ideas to switch up your look, reach for a top with the distinctive argyle pattern of overlapping multi-colored diamonds. This preppy aesthetic is sure to add the perfect balance of texture and detail to any of your outfits. 

The argyle pattern originated around the 17th century in Scotland’s Argyll region from the tartan used by Clan Campbell for kilts among other types of clothing.  In the 20th century, argyle knitwear worn by a member of the British royal family helped popularize this pattern, and the design also became associated with golf wear. Today argyle remains a beloved motif in the Fashion world commonly seen on mini skirts, long socks, crop tops and sweater vests. The argyle print is also used in trendy accessories like shoulder bags, phone cases and hair clips. This preppy diamond print is much more versatile than you think!
