Check trend

Check prints may not sound groundbreaking to you. Perhaps you associate them with your old school uniform, or maybe they encourage you to recall plaid lumberjack shirts and 90s grunge. Either way, they're hardly new. And yet, for spring/summer, they feel exactly that.

This is largely thanks to Prabal Gurung, who showed mixed check prints for this season, promptly transforming a rather mundane trend into something altogether more exciting. With grungey accents on a feminine, cut-away dress, the amalgamation of two different check prints on the catwalk suddenly made us all pay attention – this is the fresh, new way to wear grid prints, usually associated with the colder months.

Luckily, the high street has paid attention and, as a result, there's currently a wealth of checks on offer – all of which look far more expensive than they really are. Take George's dress as a prime example – at first glance, it could easily pass as a designer creation. It is, however, just £18.

It's not just mixed checks, either. Dries Van Noten showed dresses in clashing check and floral prints, which always looks fashion forward. For an extra twist, wear with breezy summer accessories like shell sandals and a raffia bag.
