Runway Inspired: How to Wear A Houndstooth Check Dress for Girls

By Glee

Wonder how to get that stunning catwalk look for kids? Here´s how to translate runway looks to real life without blowing the bank.

Fashion designers continue their love affair with Houndstooth check this season and they´re channeling their creativity up the stage for kids fashion runway. This classic print is clearly not going anywhere as a trend anytime soon and we´re seeing many ways this pattern is being updated.

During the first-ever Global Kids Fashion Week in London for Autumn/Winter 2013, John Galliano´s kids collection includes a houndstooth dress, which, not surprisingly, stole the limelight.

Attention-grabbing houndstooth check gets an update by fusing it with John Galliano´s inimitable gazette print for an exciting contrast of patterns. Worn with black, flat lace up shoes and black ankle socks, a little girl´s style will truly speak fashion-forward.

You need not spend much on your girl´s dress if you want her to enjoy wearing it. Look for a houndstooth dress that she can wear even to play and not for dresses that are only meant for display at the airport. This long time favorite can be worn with white or black; think of layering a sleeveless houndstooth dress – pleated, tiered, or A-line – with a white tee, or layering it with black tights.

If the fusion of houndstooth and gazette print is beyond reach, opt for the color/print blocking of black and houndstooth check instead. There are dresses that are updated with slim belts, you´re free to change the belts whenever you wish (black slim belt for a head-to-toe monochrome ensemble or red slim belt for a dose of color pop). Just like the belt, the color of her shoes depends on the theme that you want your girl to create.

    Wow – that is an amazing amount of research you have done – love the images. I love the dress with the pink flower attached. I am sure that my 8 year old girl would look stunning in it.

      Thanks, Tania. Houndstooth check does look great if updated with bright details such as a pink flower.
