For The Love Of Chevron! | The Patranila Project

Sharing is caring!

Once upon a time, I hated chevron. And when I say hated, I mean I would immediately skip past any post or article that extolled the virtues and glories of that God-awful design.

But one day, everything changed. While shopping for a new carryall bag, I fell in love with this little number from IZOD. First off, who knew that IZOD made handbags but let’s put a pin in that for a moment. I snapped off the tags (saving the pretty ones of course) and instantly made the bag a staple in my wardrobe.

A few days later, I read one of those pretty tags I’d saved and discovered in the bag’s description that it was actually a chevron pattern. I hadn’t even noticed because the shading was so subtle but boom, there it was! Color me flabbergasted.

tote bag and pointy toe stilettos — The subtle color variance for the pattern made all the difference to me!

Then it dawned on me. The reason that I probably hated all the chevron I saw was because it was almost always in black and white or some other super contrast-y palette. Or maybe it was a long forgotten childhood association with cheap gas from the Chevron station, I don’t know. But this subtle shading made all the difference in the world and now I even enjoy the more high contrast kind. Go figure!

Chevron At Home

This bathroom is like heaven to me.

And isn’t this sleek chevron sideboard gorgeous? I adore the blue. It’s also available in white.

Chevron Style

One must be careful to avoid the Charlie Brown effect when wearing a chevron pattern and I think this M Missoni evening dress handles the pattern quite nicely.

And get a load of this dress form. Too cute!

Have you ever done a complete 180-degree design or style flip? Don’t tell me, you’ve always been a chevron lover and can’t believe it took me this long. I get it. I’m slow sometimes.
