The Guide: Name that Pattern!

I have long been fascinated by those repeating visual creations known as patterns. I just love the way they instantly make a certain clothing item or accessory interesting by just being, you know, there.

So to share this long standing love affair of mine and get you acquainted with yet another nugget of style knowledge, I present to you my top pattern picks and how you should correctly identify them. Because whether they be wallets, shoes, or shirts, it don't matter - patterns simply make the (fashion) world exponentially more playful. Identifying them correctly? That will have done them nothing but justice.
A no-brainer: Polka Dots as seen on Head Porter Binder Systems

Gingham as seen on this Haversack Silk Scarf


Houndstooth as seen on this (nice) Stark shoelace



And finally, please don't call this pattern plaid.
Plaid is a piece of clothing in Scotland.
Tartan is the pattern.
And, yes, they look great on these Vans.
