We all own a simple checked shirt but this season the go-to print is popping up everywhere, on coats, dresses and even on shoes.

From grown up gingham to must-have tartan, embrace the trend by combining different size checks and don’t be afraid of clashing - checks work particlularly well with stripes.

Take the lead from the A-listers and style the preppy print from dusk till dawn.

Throw back to the sixties like Jennifer Aniston and work a monochrome checked mini dress for a glam night out. Style with this season’s must have over the knee boots to nail the retro look.

Brooklyn Decker shows us how to make the humble checked shirt, red-carpet worthy. Teaming with a chic maxi skirt and sexy heels. Tying your shirt into a crop top will earn you some extra fashion points.

Go classic like Kelly Osbourne and style a bold checked coat with preppy brogues and tailored trousers. The perfect look for work or play, layer over a simple white shirt and blazer and as the cold creeps in, invest in a faux fur collar to cosy up a classic checked coat.
