Black dogtooth print court shoes, £55
I’ve mentioned my love of dogtooth check often enough here that I’m sure I don’t need to tell you yet again what a fantastic print this is for winter, and how I find it almost impossible to walk past anything, be it clothes or shoes, bearing this particular pattern.
Instead, then, I’ll simply tell you how much I like these River Island dogtooth platforms. As much as I love the print, I know other people can find it a little bit on the “sensible” side, so the flash of hot pink on the sole is a nice addition to these shoes, and adds a modern twist to a classic look.

I don’t know what it is, because my grandmother never wore this print that I can remember, but it just strikes me as being a bit old-ladyish.
I love that you call it dogtooth, because where over here its always called houndstooth. Either way, I get obsessed with it every autumn since a few years back when I found the most amazing houndstooth coat at a consignment shop. We’re not even two weeks into September and I’ve already bought two houndstooth cardigans.
Yeah, it’s one of those words that’s different between the UK and US. Here it’s dogtooth or puppytooth, if it’s a small check…
