How to: Dogtooth Patterns

As I mentioned in my Essentials of a modette post, dogtooth, in my opinion, is the most beautiful pattern. Here, I show you my favourite pieces that it features upon and how I style them-it's a tricky one to do, but can look gorgeous if you accessorise it well!
Enjoy!

Look 1: Classic and feminine





This high-necked skater dress is my go-to party outfit. It makes such a statement that I don't usually accessorise it, other than pairing it with some neutral toned heels and possibly a shoulder bag- to carry the talcum powder on nights out to northern soul parties ;)

Look 2: Modernised







For running errands or just chilling out, these cigarette trousers are great. They're so comfy and the toned down feel gives you the opportunity to add your own twist- like I have here with neutral colours and a bit of bling. A perfect way to wear dogtooth if you don't want to go full sixties style.
Look 3: Sophisticated Sixties







This pencil skirt is to die for! I've teamed it here with an androgenous-style merc women's polo top to mix things up a bit and I love the final look. By adding a pop of colour with red dolly shoes and lipstick, the skirt doesn't look too formal-and overall becomes a fun piece to wear, not as corporate looking as you might initially expect!
