How to Style Checkers & Plaid

As the leaves begin to fall and the crisp autumn air sets in, it's time to refresh your wardrobe with some of the most timeless and stylish prints of the season: plaid and checkers. Each of these prints not only brings rich history but also offers endless styling possibilities, making them perfect for everything from casual outings to more formal affairs. This fall, these prints will help you create looks that blend history, style, and modern appeal. Whether you’re dressing up for a day at the office or a casual outing, these patterns offer endless possibilities to stay chic and cozy throughout the season.


Plaid: A Heritage Classic

Plaid has a long history rooted in Scottish tradition, where it was originally used to distinguish different clans. Today, it’s a symbol of cozy, classic style. For a chic autumn look, pair a plaid blazer with jeans and a simple tee, or go for a plaid skirt with a fitted sweater for an effortless yet polished vibe. Plaid works well for everyday outings like brunch, shopping trips, or casual office days, adding a touch of timeless flair wherever you go.

Plaid Trousers

Plaid trousers are a must-have this season, offering endless styling options. Pair them with a white tee and sneakers for a casual look, or dress them up with a blazer and heeled boots for a chic, office-ready outfit. Mix in a leather jacket or knitwear for added edge.

Checkers: Playful and Bold

The checkered print, popularized in the 1960s Mod era, is known for its geometric appeal and striking contrast. Style a checkered mini dress with black tights and ankle boots for a retro-inspired look, or elevate a monochrome outfit with a checkered coat for a fun twist. Checkers are perfect for adding personality to your wardrobe, making them great for city strolls, gallery visits, or fashion-forward social events.

Two-piece sets

Checkered two-piece sets are a bold and stylish way to make a statement this season. Whether you're opting for a sleek tailored set for the office or a more casual look with a cropped top and matching pants, these sets offer effortless coordination with maximum impact. Dress them up with heels and accessories for a night out, or keep it laid-back with sneakers and a denim jacket.
