I'm not much of a prepster, but I've always appreciated the graphic goodness of argyle. The diamond checkerboard pattern has a unique three-dimensional quality that's simply eye-catching. But, don't get any ideas: I won't be sporting an argyle sweater vest any time soon.

These Crew Towels ($3.99-$7.99) from Linen and Things embrace the love for all things prep. Would you hang them in your bathroom?

Preppy chic is always a good thing; keyword being chic. And mcmartusia definitely knows a good thing — argyle — when she sees one!
Here's what she has on:
Argyle
Diamond shapes in colorful patterns on a solid background. Primarily used in sweaters and socks. Original pattern of the Clan Campbell, of Argyll in western Scotland. 
Argyle isn't just for socks anymore. Lately, this classic, preppy diamond pattern has been showing up in the most unexpected places, from shoes to arm warmers and even a tube top. Something about taking argyle out of the sock and sweater-vest context suddenly makes this potentially stodgy fabric look very funky and fun. 
It's not just for collegiates anymore – preppy chic is perfect for all people and pets, too! Bring preppy back with this week's feature of a different style every day. First up, my personal fave: Argyle.
