Steps
Pick one argyle sweater or cardigan and build the outfit around it. Keep the other pieces solid so the pattern stays the focus.
Choose a classic palette such as navy, grey, cream, burgundy or forest green. Limit the outfit to two main colors plus a neutral.
Wear a crewneck argyle sweater over a collared shirt. Let the collar sit neatly above the neckline and show a little cuff.
For a cardigan, button it over a plain shirt or fine-knit tee. Leave the bottom button open if the fit pulls across your hips.
Tuck the front hem slightly into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt. This gives shape without looking stiff.
Add a solid blazer, trench coat or plain coat in a matching tone. Avoid a second pattern on the outer layer.
Pair it with straight-leg trousers, dark jeans or a pleated midi skirt. Skip ripped denim and large logos.
Finish with loafers, ankle boots or clean sneakers. Add a simple belt and small jewelry, then stop before the look feels busy.
Tips and common mistakes
Fine-gauge argyle layers more neatly under a blazer than a thick chunky knit.
If the pattern is bold, repeat one of its colors in your trousers, bag or shoes.
Avoid wearing argyle with other prints, logos or contrast trim at the same time.
Check the fit: the shoulder seam should sit on your shoulder and the sleeves should end at your wrist bone.
Questions
What colors work best with an argyle sweater?
Navy, grey, cream, burgundy and forest green are safe choices. Pick one color from the pattern and repeat it in your trousers, skirt or accessories.
Can you wear argyle to the office?
Yes, choose a fine-knit sweater or cardigan in muted colors. Wear it over a collared shirt with tailored trousers or a midi skirt and closed shoes.
How do you keep argyle from looking old fashioned?
Keep the rest of the outfit plain and modern, and avoid too many preppy accessories. A clean fit and simple shoes make the pattern look intentional.
