ARGYLE HISTORY:
Argyle is an incredibly familiar pattern that is most seen in the massively popular argyle jumpers and argyle socks, comprising of layers of overlapping diamonds and crisscrossing lines that create an illusion of 3D. Although the original origins of the argyle pattern are not completely clear, one thing is for certain -- argyle is here for the long haul in fashion, design, and pop culture.
The original origins and history of the argyle-pattern are shrouded in mystery. The legend of the earliest origins of argyle dates back to clans-men living in the county of Argyll in West-Central Scotland. The men cut their traditional plaid tartans to create foot-coverings (the first argyle socks?), and the cuts ultimately created the first argyle diamond-pattern. A few historians are sceptical about the stated origins of the pattern (due to the difference in spelling between Argyll and argyle), but there is a general consensus that the argyle pattern originated in Scotland.
