I have noticed that the chevron pattern has gotten really popular in the last few months. I see the pattern everywhere; especially in pants, dresses, and decorative rugs. I see this pattern used for bell-bottom or wide-legged pants a lot these days. The wavy pattern is very reminiscent of the 70s, and yes bell-bottoms are back, just in a looser lighter more beachwear way. Can't you just imagine a classy mature woman sitting on the beach with chevron patterned loose bell-bottoms, a big hat, and big sunglasses, enjoying a cold beverage? I can!
From what I gathered, the pattern is most popular when there is a dichromatic color scheme, often white and another color, and when the zig-zag lines run horizontally instead of vertically.

Personally, when I first saw the pattern used in bell-bottomed pants I was little skeptical, but I have since boarded the chevron bandwagon. The pattern is zany, fun, and bold! I like the idea of a black and white chevron dress that is cinched at the waist with a bright belt. While I have grown to like the pattern, especially in home decor, I do have my reservations. I do not like when the lines are to wide or when many different colors are used in one pattern. I also think that the zig-zag patterns makes it diifcult to introduce other patterns.

Overall, I am a fan of chevron as long as it is kept simple.
What do you think of chevron?
Would you wear it? Do you prefer when the pattern is modified or when it is the classic pattern? Do you like multiple colors or just two. Please share!
