Sometimes, at this point in the year, you need a sweater that brings a little jazz-hands to your look
An argyle knit is an interesting fashion choice. Not if you are off to play actual golf, obviously. If you are playing actual golf then argyle is eye-rollingly literal. But I’m not off to play golf. In fact I have never played golf and have no interest in playing golf. Which is why I’m quite interested in an argyle sweater.
The history of the argyle sweater is, ahem, chequered. Grace Kelly, who loved a Pringle twinset, dabbled in knitted diamonds. Francis Begbie wore a sweater in Trainspotting. Cher Horowitz wore an argyle knit mini in Clueless. Most recently, Michael Shannon wears one in Knives Out, which would be a shoo-in for Best Dramatic Knitwear, if that was a Golden Globe. (It totally should be a Golden Globe, right?) From Hollywood to the football terraces and back again, the argyle has an eccentric history.
