Checkmate

Plaid-Trend-Shopping

Plaid, check, tartan, houndstooth… those little squares are everywhere and shouldn’t just be reserved for shortbread tins and wool scarves. We’ve all got a check shirt lurking in our wardrobes, haven’t we? Perfect with jeans obviously – but I love the idea of styling mine with a black tulle skirt or a pleated midi for an unexpected twist on a classic. How festive do these ladies look?

You could treat yourself to a gorgeous shirt from Rails but then you could also go full-on plaid in Zara (where else?) and boldly embrace the trend with this fringed dress and deconstructed.

Before you rush out to the shops though, take a moment to enjoy these beauties from J.Crew. You’re welcome!

    Love your style! Am also in Ox Street at the mo and hot footing it to Zara to check out the kilt…Haven’t worn one since my school days. Would love a check shirt with tulle skirt – dont have the confidence for that – but think it looks fab. Pls share with us if you give it a go ! X

    I love tartan, especially the black & red combinations. The polka dot tulle skirt looks amazing with the tartan shirt!
