The diamond-print pattern known as argyle has made a strong comeback this season. Initially popularised on golf courses by the Duke of Windsor, the motif has since moved from sport to street style.
While argyle still carries its preppy heritage, designers today are reinventing it—with edgy silhouettes, bold colours and unexpected styling.
1. Downtown Cool
For a modern take, pair an argyle sweater (especially in a three-quarter sleeve) with leather pants and booties. The contrast between the knit’s preppy diamond motif and the sleek leathers offers a dynamic look.
2. Off-Duty Prep
To keep things relaxed yet sharp, wear an argyle polo or sweater with drawstring cargos or relaxed trousers. Add a tailored coat and loafers to elevate the look beyond casual.
3. Monochromatic Base
When working with a bold or colourful argyle piece, balance it with a neutral or monochrome base. This allows the pattern to stand out without overwhelming the outfit.
4. The Bohemian Way
You can soften the argyle’s structure by combining it with flowing separates—think a cardigan over a cotton dress or a skirt with Western-style boots. This styling offers a countryside-chic vibe.
5. Office-Ready
Argyle doesn’t have to be casual. Pair a sweater with tailored pleated trousers, layer a fitted leather jacket over it, and finish with a statement earring. You achieve a balance of personality and professionalism.
