They have been around for the longest time but checks were never this exciting! Once relegated to office shirts and school uniforms before they were reimagined and reinvented in the best way possible, nowadays checks are anything but boring and plain.

Starting with Western wear, every woman should have a checkered shirt in her wardrobe. An absolute lifesaver on days when one must run out the door at a moment’s notice, a classic plaid or tartan shirt is your hero. Wearing it with a pair of blue denims is an obvious yet genius choice for it works every single time. White, blue, red, and green are forever favourites; pink, orange and yellow checks look fun and fabulous too!

A check skirt is the next contender, naturally! Pencil skirts are perfect for work, while A-line skirts are chic and versatile. A plaid skirt is festive and feminine, even more so during the holiday season! Choose a deep green Scottish check skirt and wear it with a black or dark green sweater for your next Christmas party. Or, choose a lovely red and green woollen number and pair it with a black, white, or red cashmere cardigan.

An A-line dress in classic colours is always stylish while a gingham dress is perfect for picnics and casual occasions. One can never go wrong with a belted checkered dress in deep claret or cognac.
