Let us give you a quick masterclass in how to wear houndstooth. Firstly, focus on the fit - whether its mini, midi or maxi — make sure you've got those proportions on lock down. Secondly, keep the rest of the outfit simple (unless you're adding in a floral, to which we say go right ahead). Lastly, buy quality over quantity, although — did you expect us to say anything else? Case in point: this woven number from
Whistles. It scores full marks from us, and gets pride of place at the front of our winter wardrobe.
