Yes we know you’re thinking ‘these 2 were at it in checks about a month ago’ but that’s how big of a trend this really is.

So while you may have seen our end of summer (sob) checks this is all about our full blown Autumn/Winter17 checks. This time we are talking Prince of Wales checks, monochrome styles and clothes that look like they could be made of tweed.

Put it this way – our school girl summer checks have grown up and now they’ve got a job and have to look the part.

If like Sam you enjoy the comfort of dressing a bit like a boy every so often, try out a tailored checked suit. Or if like Cigdem you can only do girly and frilly get a checked coat over your dress and suddenly you’ll look like you mean business.

Sam wears: Jumper and trousers, both Stradivarius ; bag, Topshop and shoes, Marks and Spencer. Cigdem wears: coat, New look; jumpsuit, Zara and shoes, Kurt Geiger

Now obviously we don’t mean ‘dress us like cos we’re awesome!’ so we’ve picked out a few of our fave high street checked buys…because you know, we are awesome.
