Two Colour Houndstooth Cardigan

DWith its black and red houndstooth motif, this knitted cardigan certainly won't go unnoticed. The black ribbed finish around the neck, on the cuffs, along the bottom hem and on the chest flap pockets with gold-coloured buttons add to its bourgeois feel. This sassy piece will enhance neutral classics with a tongue-in-cheek dose of character. We pair it with navy trousers and trainers for a casual yet chic aristocratic look that doesn't take itself too seriously.
