We're in love with this season's infatuation with '50s chic in the way of pencil skirts, sheath dresses, and, most recently spotted on celebs, houndstooth prints. The traditional check pattern, which dates all the way back to the 1800s, was recently spotted on Jayma Mays, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kim Kardashian, all showing fresh variations on how you can wear the trend this Fall.

Inspired: Emma Thompson's Houndstooth Cape

I'm loving this houndstooth cape that Emma Thompson is sporting in Pirate Radio. Houndstooth, which is characterized by a duotone textile pattern comprised of broken checks, is traditionally seen in black and white, but other color patterns are also common.

Look of the Day: Houndstooth Hottie

Rheartsfashion, aka houndstooth hottie, knows how to stand out — just throw on anything houndstooth. Her outerwear looks a lot like the coat I featured, right? So as not to be too colorless, she wore a mustard-colored top underneath. Good thinking; houndstooth and mustard are quite a match. Here's what she has on: Coat: Wet Seal Pants: Jimmy'Z Bag: From Italy Congrats to Read more

When you are known to be one of the most theatrical designers, you have a reputation to live up to. While we anxiously await Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 video extravaganza, I found his Fall ads. If you recall, his collection was brimming with goth glam houndstooth and sculptural shapes — it was nothing short of magnificent. I guess it's hard to top the clothes, so McQueen opted for a broken Read more

2009 Fall: Michael Michael Kors and Kors

Now that Fall ready-to-wear is all shown and done, designers are showing their lesser priced ideas. Michael Kor's neon notions might have been overboard for you, but his better-priced Michael Michael Kors and Kors lines are also punked up. Alongside simple LBDs, acid wash jeans, stormy prints, biker boots, stripes, and animal prints rule. This line is obviously geared toward (and priced for) the Read more
