Its no secret that checks are set to be HUGE this season.
But it’s not a specific style of check that’s storming the runways and high street stores.
Think tartan, checkerboard, Prince of Wales, Vivienne Westwood-inspired – each are so versatile you can personalise them from one day looking like you’ve walked straight out of a Clueless film in a prim-and-proper matching two-piece, to rocking an edgy skater vibe in an oversized midi dress, black leather jacket and Vans the next.
The opportunity to experiment and unleash your inner creativity with this classic trend is what makes it so fresh, fun and interesting each year.
For those who prefer a simpler take – investing in a staple item such as a check coat or skirt will sort you out from autumn right through ‘til spring 2019. This way, you can pair with an all-black outfit and let the check print take centre attention, allowing you to still achieve the enviable impact of the trend.
Another way you can accentuate your checks is by picking a particular colour that runs either faintly or prominently in the pattern and wearing it in the form of a jumper, bag or shoes to compliment.
For more daring individuals, try a never-would-have-thought alternative colour-block or take it to the next level by clashing with contrasting checks, animal print and even bold floral prints. Checks know no bounds and are easy to update – so splurging on a few items this year really won’t hurt in the long run, trust me!
