I think it would fit wonderfully in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394581 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:22:09 +0000 Lisa 2394581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy the Shopbop is a tough decision, both options would be lovely on you. </p> <p>Which color do you have less of in your wardrobe? I'd purchase the less common color because it'll be a refreshing change from your more dominant color in your palette.</p> <p>But if both are equally represented than I vote for the blue, because I'm on team blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394547 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:58:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2394547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that Massimo Dutti one! The blue and burgundy are good, too. Maybe more versatile, because you wouldn't need a visible underlayer with them. You might not with the v-neck either; it's hard to tell.</p> <p>back to add: I prefer the burgundy; to me, the color combo works more against argyle's preppy association.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394513 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 18:05:08 +0000 judy 2394513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reminder about Argyle.&nbsp; Don't have any, but love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394497 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:52:29 +0000 unfrumped 2394497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that one! Blue and cool brown together are part of my aspirational palette. Wish it were crew neck. I like how it looks boxy at the hem, since welted hems ride up on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394494 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:56:39 +0000 RobinF 2394494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a nice one! Love the placement of the blue, I think that makes it more modern. I like argyle but am not sure if I have had any since I was young. Worth keeping an eye out for a fun item.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394492 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:50:28 +0000 Janet 2394492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh, I like these. Shopbop. Blue or burgundy?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394389 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:16:48 +0000 Carol 2394389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always liked it, and I am okay with traditional styles. I do see some new, updated designs, though, like you said. Really where I would want it would be in a pair of knee socks, and then I would try to build an outfit around that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394376 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 11:55:42 +0000 Janet 2394376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, your asymmetrical cardigan sounds great! Also, you have a good memory. I have a 30-year-old sort of simplified argyle (no thin lines, just the diamond shapes) sweater in shades of olive. It’s actually a cardigan, which is not my thing, but I wear it backwards! It’s very sentimental as my mom bought it for me — I only have a couple pieces left that are wearable from her, so I’ll probably never give it away. </p> <p>I have a wool ski quarter-zip sweater from Norway from 10 years ago that has some argyle accents on the sleeve and collar. It’s quite fitted and it’s red, both of which are not my favorite things anymore, but I keep it to wear when the mood hits. It’s a very nice piece that I’ll keep for a long time. </p> <p>I might still have my old Esprit periwinkle blue argyle sweater packed away somewhere. Another piece that’s probably 20 years old, I think I got it when mom was still alive. A fabulous and hard to find color palette. It was finally starting to get a little worn looking, so I may have donated it, but it might be in a holding zone box somewhere. I kind of hope so — I’m starting to appreciate even things with a little patina of wear these days. </p> <p>Roberta, I like the exaggerated vertical of the pattern on those sweaters! </p> <p>Thank you for the input re MD. I may try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394374 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 11:38:57 +0000 Staysfit 2394374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not familiar with MD. Given the colors, I bet this sweater would look amazing on you. &nbsp;I have one cardigan with some argyle, oriented vertically on the side. &nbsp;Besides my scarves, it’s one of the few patterned pieces I keep in my wardrobe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394361 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 02:12:06 +0000 Indigoprint 2394361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a mens argyle cardigan that is easily 20 years old that goes in and out of rotation. I am glad that I have not donated it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394360 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 02:08:20 +0000 Carla 2394360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t you have some asymmetrical argyle and some argyle ski sweaters? &nbsp;Certainly in your wheelhouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394345 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 00:28:17 +0000 Jaime 2394345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like <b>Suz</b> I forgot argyle but it is one of my favorites too. If the weather ever cools I will assess my collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394335 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 22:58:39 +0000 Dee 2394335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is a unique argyle colour combo, right up your alley. I'm not an argyle wearer myself but love the look on others who can pull it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394333 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 22:52:18 +0000 LJP 2394333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll second that shipping and returns are easy - at least here in Canada- with MD. &nbsp;I find the fit (from the few pieces I do have) to be consistent and true to regular -size, whatever that is, lol. &nbsp;That's a great sweater for you ! &nbsp;I wouldn't ever wear argyle as it's too masculine and traditional for me (I have an irrational fear of looking masculine ) &nbsp;but that's the beauty of fashion and style - we are all different and should be! &nbsp;Love the colourway of this sweater for you too . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394323 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 20:29:58 +0000 cat2 2394323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun set of threads. I love a lot of different patterns, and have to be restrained from having too many in my closet. However, I don’t tend to pick argyle, tartan, or most other plaids. Or many geometric patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394317 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 19:38:23 +0000 Lisa 2394317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like argyle and remember when it was popular and I owned quite a few pieces in my wardrobe. I don't currently have any but I'd be happy to add one if the right item caught my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394306 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 19:11:01 +0000 Irina 2394306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, MD provides a measurement table in the item’s description that is useful. Orders and returns are fast and easy. I would recommend to give it a try. I’m biased, though as I’m a big fan of MD.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394302 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 18:56:13 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2394302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at that sweater myself and saw it styled with a dark green cardigan slung over the shoulders (the green is your kind of green btw).</p> <p>I often like the idea of argyle but I have yet to really buy into it. Kind of like loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394298 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 18:22:06 +0000 Gail 2394298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love argyle! Don't have any though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394281 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:37:00 +0000 Roberta 2394281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue and grey combo makes it! I have been thinking about a Hilfiger argyle sweater, and will probably look on ebay when it cools off for real. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394274 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:10:40 +0000 Suz 2394274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I forgot argyle on my list! I love it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394272 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:09:35 +0000 Ket 2394272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this could be very fun for you, Janet! Can’t wait to see it on you and hear your thoughts. Great colors for you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394271 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:18:01 +0000 Janet 2394271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that, Angie! Perfect for you. I have a small bit of preppy as a shadow style. It’s got to be mixed with tougher elements or in a slightly unconventional style to really speak to me these days. I think I’ll know it when I find it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394270 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:15:30 +0000 Angie 2394270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! Love argyle! It's part of one of the big trends:<b> Modern Academia </b>or<b>&nbsp;</b><b>Fresh Preppy.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b></b>That one is JUST your palette, <b>Janet!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b>I have this one and it's a FAVE. Cropped and cheeky. Great with wide legs. Love a polo top :)<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-%e2%80%94-argyle#post-2394268 Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:09:28 +0000 Janet 2394268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m starting to see argyle pop up in what’s trending for F/W. I’m kinda excited — I’ve always liked argyle but I tend to like it most with a little twist — a slightly oversized or off-center pattern, an unusual fit, interesting color palette, etc. Not a typical cardigan or too traditional version. </p> <p>The one below caught my eye because of the blue, even though it looks pretty traditional. I’d do a slightly cropped boxy version. I’d be tempted to order to try, but I have zero experience with MD and am not confident of sizing, and I’m not sure about returns. </p> <p>Anyone else happy to see the return of argyle? </p>
