So I am shopping for some Foulard prints these days. All of you know the print but may be not the name. Foulard is that small graphic pattern you find often on men’s neckties and some scarves. It feels very classic to me but it has a certain feminine quality to it. I think I will take it as a shirt…I wouldn’t mind it as a nice dress either. This type of pattern really reads as a non-print but it’s more exciting than a solid and it brings a chic heritage element to your outfit. I also like it because it could be great for work and you can have it for years and it won’t feel outdated. I always try to find interesting stuff that straddles the golden middle between classic, modern and “corporate work wear but not boring”. I have found few examples I really like and I hope you guys will too! That JCrew version (first photo) seems to be my favorite but I can’t find it on the site, so I guess I’ll have to check the store. I am also including versions from Tommy Hilfiger, Tucker and Elie Tahari. Click on the photos to go to the product pages.
