Argyle Day

National Argyle Day is on January 8th and fuels the love for the pattern that has taken over the world! In recent years, it has been used in various clothes, and you could not help but encounter it. Perhaps you have something similar in your wardrobe?

History

Argyle is a pattern of rhombuses or squares that transforms into parallel or transverse stripes of different shades, usually the brightest colors! The term came from amazing Scotland, specifically from the Campbell clan in the west of the country. At the beginning of the 20th century, the pattern gained incredible popularity, probably thanks to the Duke of Windsor, who played golf in similar attire. Players began to replicate this look.

After the First World War, argyle saw a decline in popularity but was revived with renewed vigor in 2019, when the most successful fashion runways in the world showcased collections featuring the pattern. Originally associated with golf, the design now appears in everyday wear and even football uniforms, such as those of the American club Sporting Kansas City, which embraced this style.

National Argyle Day has been since 2008. The name of the founder is still unknown, but we know that they wanted to share their love for the pattern with us. Head to the store or wear your favorite clothes featuring this design!
