Argyle is making a serious comeback! Once purely the domain of preppy socks and grandfatherly sweaters, the diamond pattern has crept onto dresses, shoes, even handbags! Runway photos courtesy style.com except where otherwise credited. Left: D&G Fall 2008; right: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009

So British!

The beaded puff sleeve dress is my favorite!
I loved that sass & bide harlequin look on the runway, missed them this season in new york!
So nice! Perfect for autumn.
I love this pattern, every year it comes back so I can reuse my clothes like it was de first time.

I'm so glad you featured The Clothes Horse in this post because that's one of my fave looks of hers! Last week when the weather was colder I dug out a white, orange, and pink argyle sweater I'd bought last year (I have a picture of it here).
I'm a little mixed on whether or not I like argyl, I think for me, I like it better when it's done in either an innovative way or a understated way such as the Balmain dress. It's not obvious in-your-face argyl and I like that! :)

for some reason i really like argyle on a man.
i dig the nerd look :)
great post, as always beautiful carrie.
Hi there-this is a great trend, I shall borrow my sons grey and pink argyle v neck sweater, haha!!
I love the sweaters!
Great look, love the ovet the knee socks!
So true - you gotta love argyle - I'm also a sucker for fair isle too!
Wow, love the Marni and Twinkle clothes! <3
I got an argyle sweater last year for the first time ever!
It seems like typical busines or college pattern for me :) I like it!!!
i love that turquoise cardigan. i think this pattern looks really cool on guys, i love old people style!
I am wanting an argyle sweater. Great assortment to choose from!
love argyle! i don't think it's ever not in style :)
conservative but savvy. i like christie's dress.
I had a love affair with argyle in high school. =D I still have my leftover 3/4 sleeve v-neck argyle sweater and my knee high argyle socks. I have some argyle tights from Saks but they're way too big! they bunch up and end up looking like pants. I think I might juts cut off the feet and wear them as pants. They're certainly opaque enough. =D
I am so glad argyle is back! I have a few sweaters I was going to put on craigslist from Abercrombie from years back. Great post!!!
love the light blue dress ( i just didnt get who's the designer... is it moschino?)
Gosh, Argyle has never looked so versatile! I love it in all its' many forms, especially cardigans and sweaters and tights.
The pictures here are so lovely!
Argyle, my greatest weakness!
OO I love preppy look, for woman or for men,its fun,Lovve the soks and the rain boots!!
i love it..esp on sweaters and cardigans!!
I loved how you used "icious" in your title! :D Hahaha. Argyle is seriously my favorite pattern. Either that or plaid, but anyway, I love argyle sweaters, socks, shirts.. and those oxford booties! XD Uh-mazing.
peace&love
nicole.
I love the preppiness of argyle. That Moschino look is adorable.
i heart nerdy hot! look at mr. d!
I agree Argyles are everywhere. I like this trend ! :)
I totally need the sweater that the male model is wearing!
I love that Balmain dress. Oh that collection is perfection.
I must say as much as I try to steer clear of argyle, I love it (moreso on women)as long as it doesn't get too preppy. Brooks Brothers is doing some amazing things in argyle.
I heart argyle on other people, though not on me. A lovely selection!
So fun - I love this kind of look!
I really like blue dress
It has a nice antique (not in a bad way) feel to it...Perhaps a classic feel would be a better way of putting it :)
argylicious IN DEED!!!
I love the incorporation of the clothes horse! Your posts are always so inclusive and comprehensive, it's like I needn't check anything else
I love argyles but own few things - tights and 2 sweaters.
This is a hard sell for me but i do like some of those less obvious dress are quite nice
love this print..it is rocks for me..not like plaid
LOVE IT. I want those F21 oxfords! And the Marni, Gucci and TopShop outfits of course :)
I love those sweaters... I bet my granpa has lots of them... they are so chic!!
love love love argyle!
I love it !!
Looks classy and elegant
How do you pronounce that word? I'd better look it up.
Another new fashion vocab for me. Very educational.
I'm definately loving the come back...can't wait to wear it :) I especially love Marni's look - the mix of patterns is really fresh
WOOOOOOOOOW LOVE THEM ALL
Yum yum yum yum, I loooove argyle!!! I so need that purple v-neck!
I have always weared argyle anywhere (cardigans, socks, etc) and thinks that they really are classic & timeless.
I love argyle! And I really enjoyed this post. I featured it on Beauty Chat. Check it out:http://www.beautychatblog.com/2008/10/fab-friday-finds-12/
