I honestly can't remember how long ago I bought this houndstooth jacket at Nordstrom, but I love the classic Chanel-esque cut that I keep wearing year after year.  This classic black and white pattern is so easy to style, and you can pair houndstooth pieces with pretty much any other color.  For today's outfit, I chose to add some color with my favorite burgundy Paige skinnies.

Houndstooth is a classic winter fabric, and I think it looks wonderful on all types of clothing from coats and jackets to skirts and shoes.  Check out these save and splurge picks on houndstooth pieces:
