It’s hard to remember a time when checks didn’t dominate our wardrobes.
A pattern that switches up with the changing seasons, gingham is our go-to during the summer months, but as autumn rolls round it’s micro-checks, dogtooth and plaid prints that really check the box.
We’ve rounded up four different ways to wear yours for some serious checks appeal, whatever your style or plans this autumn.
Ever since the Gossip Girl reboot, we’ve all been obsessed with getting that Upper East Side look, which naturally relies on dogtooth checks and chic co-ords.
Say hello to the must-have bouclé dogtooth jacket and mini skirt that Blair Waldorf would totally envy. Make like the Manhattan set by styling the duo with a statement collar blouse, black chunky loafers, and of course, who could forget the all-important beret?s
Let us introduce you to your new favourite layer this autumn: the off-white checked shacket. It’s the kind you’ll find yourself living in, given that it goes with just about everything.
A pop of pink will really bring the plaid to life – we’re thinking this pink slogan jumper loved by both us and autumn ambassador Emily Atack. Keep the rest of your styling tonal by pairing it with off-white baggy fit jeans, white chunky trainers and a pale pink ‘90s nylon shoulder bag.
Not quite ready to let go of bare leg season just yet? Then all you need to do is make it autumnal with this brown check flippy mini skirt 💁♀️.
Go head-to-tonal by styling it with our trending high-neck zip jumper, buckle-detail biker bootss and a cream slouchy shoulder bag. When the temperature really drops, add some sheer tights and wrap up with a beanie to make it even more autumn approved.
Meet the longline shacket that’s loved by us, Emily Atack and soon to be you. Whether you wear it over a tracksuit, or dress it up with jeans, it’s the kind of goes-with-everything layer you can work into so many different looks.
We love it styled with a cosy grey roll neck jumper dress, black chunky Chelsea boots and a black quilted crossbody bag. Team it with a grey knitted beanie for those crisp autumnal walks that are rounded off with an all-important pub lunch – save us a spot by the fire!
