How to wear checked clothes?
The check pattern is one of the most masculine and classic things in fashion - classic available in many various designs. It may differ by colour, size and type of a pattern. Sometimes in a contrasting colour and sometimes with vertical and horizontal stripes on a plain colour. The check is unique itself – it's eye-catching, vivids stylings and fits many various outfits, regardless of being casual or formal. It's an awesome pattern but there are still a few basic rules to follow, which let you create a perfect look.
Checked clothing is usually a part of casual style. Colourful, informal men's checked shirts create an amazing look with jeans. They look decent in muli-layered outfits. If matched with colourful trousers, a lightweight or parka jacket, a jumper, an iconic streetwear hoodie or a sweatshirt can look gorgeous. Feel free to fit them with a trendy quilted husky jacket or create a rock'n'roll styling with a leather one. Grunge style? A flannel checked shirt. It's enough to match it with skinny jeans, a nice T-shirt, a leather jacket and trendy shoes. Voila.
But, you may choose a completely different path to follow. A checked shirt is a role-model for elegant and smart-casual stylings – appropriate for work, formal events and meetings. It vivids the look outstandingly. In such a styling, you can replace jeans with chino trousers and wear a shirt with a blazer or a classic round neckline or a V-neck jumper.
Worth remembering is how to choose proper colours. If the check is expressive, a jumper and a suit jacket should be subtly patterned, it can go in beige, grey or navy blue. What about the texture and proportions? A flannel shirt with a large check can be easily matched with a jumper and suit jacket made of thick fabric.
Men's fashion usually provides us with a checked shirts. However, it's worth to break the rules. Through the last couple of seasons, the world catwalks have started to fill up with classic suits and coats in the classic checked pattern. They are perfect for men who are aware of their style and like to be in the centre of attention – to shine.
A men's checked suit will never replace a classic grey or navy blue one, but for sure, it can become a great alternative. Such a suit is designed for elegant and smart-casual outfits. How to get a stylish look? Match it with a white shirt, a tie and low shoes. And if you want to cut yourself some slack, match it with a blue shirt and extremely trendy leather boots.
Remember, you can take a checked suit jacket and match it with chino trousers. Thicker and woollen checked blazers will do fantastically not only with a shirt but also with a turtleneck jumper.
Always trendy - checked pattern - can surely play the main role in any styling but it can also be “just” a detail. If you plan to get a soft and subtle look it's worth to place a bet on classic details. A checked scarf, a trendy tie or a handkerchief will vivid your styling amazingly, but at the same time, it won't take away its formality.
As mentioned before, a checked pattern can vivid your look. However, if you want to obtain the perfect look, you must remember one rule. Such a pattern should be a complement and match other parts of your garment but also to a person who wears it. Gentlemen who have fair complexion should give up on wearing dark colours and large checks.
If you want to add freshness to your everyday look there are still options left for you. Place a bet on light colours and the Vichy check or large patterns, in which a large check is made from thin horizontal and vertical stripes.
