As it dipped near freezing last week in New York City people are piling on the layers and often look like they are hibernating. (Today is supposed to 68°F though, what? But back down to 40° on Wednesday) I have a forest green puffer jacket when I wear for a bit of color when it is frigid but it isn’t quite work appropriate. Houndstooth coats offer a great option for a statement coat that is effortlessly chic just in its’ pattern. Here are this look are three great examples from Gwyneth, Kim, and Gwen:
Almost two years ago I posted about Houndstooth Accessories, from home good and tech finds to a handful of cute shoes in this black and white pattern. One of my favorite prints and one of the perfect patterns as we head into winter full steam ahead. Here are six cute options:
One / Fay Houndstooth Loose Fit Jacket
Two / Marco Bologna Zipped Houndstooth Coat
Three / Darling Karmen Houndstooth Coat
Four / Black & White Houndstooth Overlarge Coat
Five / Asos Just Female Houndstooth Coat
Six / West Coast Wardrobe Check It Out Houndstooth Coat in Black
Still don’t believe me? Two of my Style Icons, Courtney Kerr of What Courtney Wore and Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper killed it in beautiful houndstooth numbers on their blogs earlier this month.

I love houndstooth, but it means so much more here in the south. If you wear it here, it means you’re an Alabama fan. And I’m not, so I stay away. Ha!
Stacy says

I love houndstooth, on anything. Coats are especially beautiful because they make such a statement! I have one, and it is by far the coat I’m most complimented on. These ones you chose are beautiful! Almost makes me want another one haha…

I’ve always loved houndstooth. I almost bought a houndstooth jacket this winter, but I settled on plaid instead.
