Synonyms of elegance, houndstooth and houndstooth are a classic. Black and white and in various sizes, these patterns originated in the 1930s with the revolutionary Coco Chanel.
“She fell in love with what she saw in the men’s suits of the time,” explains personal stylist Roberta Carlucci. She adds: “In 1947, Christian Dior launched his first perfume, ‘Miss Dior’, whose bottle was decorated with the patterns, which also popularized it.”
This “borrowing” from men’s fashion never goes out of style in the female universe. But do you know what these patterns are? The stylist explains: “Both refer to the pattern that imitates the footprints of hen and rooster, respectively (poule = hen, coq = rooster), repeated several times, forming a pattern.”
She also teaches that the difference between coq and poule is that in the former, the pattern is enlarged and sometimes contains four points instead of three.
For both models, there are no limitations, as the professional clarifies: “They look quite interesting when combined with each other, as one is the larger or smaller version of the other.”
For women who are still hesitant to dive into this fashion, using a scarf or a bag with the pattern can be a good option to start getting used to it.
