In its traditional scottish burgundy together with petrol green, or in the more eccentric lime, bubblegum and electric blue shades, the check pattern is the undisputed queen of the streetstyle.
From its tartan version until being thight at the point it looks like pied de poule, the check finds in the coat the perfect endorser for this cold season. Always glam and super chic in its different variations, the check coat is perfect when worn both with sneakers both with elegant pump shoes. Thanks to its eclectic personality, when paired to a white tee and denim combo, an oversized jumper or a minidress it will rock even the most anonymous outfit. Our faves pieces are without any doubts the oversize coat with revers or waist belt and the biker jacket inspired one. But trust us…there’s one to suit every taste!
During the latest fashion shows, indeed, the faithful brand Burberry proposed it both in the classic trench version both in a brand new rainbowy version, but trying to leave the sweet nostalgic memories of Christopher Bailey behind, a lot are the brands who decided to make it a statement.
Fendi, Prada, Versace and Gucci, but also Max Mara, Pinko and Balenciaga have plasticised it, woven it in wool or cotton, ripped and stretched it as well as made it a must-have pattern in our wardrobe. Obviously on Instagram the #checkcoat is going crazy, becoming not only one of the most searched and copied looks, but a proper source of inspiration for all those who’ve had it up to their closet (and not only) with basic black coats.
For sure a lot of you already has it, but for those who are still in doubt here’s a selection of some the coolest looks found both on Instagram and during the London, Paris, Milan and New York fashion weeks. Go CHECK it!
