Trend Spotting: Tweed and Houndstooth

For quite a while now I've been noticing a trend of gravitating more and more towards darker and/or neutral shades. Black, beige, and different greys seem to all be coming into more prominence within the street styles of many women and on the red carpet. As a result of this, coarser materials such as tweed and patterns such as houndstooth are also making a comeback. Mostly in loose overcoats or blazers, rougher textures and patterns which have been locked away in the menswear category for quite some time are finally transitioning to the feminine wardrobe. 










I love this look because it strikes me as not only serious, but also a bit androgynous. And nothing says "interesting" in fashion quite as much as gender ambiguous clothing.
