34 Ways To Rock An Autumn Check

Catwalks are awash with colourful ginghams, plaids and checks. Here’s how to wear yours in style.

Dedicated followers of fashion will be well aware that, amid the overarching tonal trends of 2020, the catwalks were also awash with one particular print: plaid. From Victoria Beckham to Versace, Michael Kors to Miu Miu, the bold check cropped up again and again, both in monochrome and bold colour, and emblazoned on everything from jackets to knitwear to shirt dresses.

This, we say, is good news both for the modish and those who prefer to stay classic alike; checks, after all, can be understated or bold graphic and – crucially – they never go out of style (just ask the good folk at Chanel and Burberry) . Here are our favourite ways to wear the look. Check mate.
