National Argyle Day, celebrated annually on January 8th, is a delightful occasion dedicated to the appreciation of argyle patterns. Widely recognized in the stylish realm of socks and sweaters, the distinctive diamond designs of argyle extend beyond fashion to encompass various items, including investments and golf suits. Originating from the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll, this pattern, known as "tartan hose," has adorned Scottish Highlanders since at least the 17th century, gracing kilts and plaids along with patterned socks. On National Argyle Day, we celebrate and honor the timeless charm of these intricate Argyle patterns, adding a special touch to our calendar.
