Preppy plaid or check clothing has made a comeback this season and we can’t help but get flashbacks of Gossip Girl and one of our favourite teenage movies, Clueless.

Scene from Clueless
The look can be a bit tricky, one has to be careful not to end up looking like a tea towel or a lumberjack. The secret is to choose well-tailored items or items like a check shirt that can be tucked into some classy high-waisted pants.

On the runways head-to-toe clashing plaids and prints were all the rage, but for everyday wear you may want to play it a little safer. Choose one check clothing item, e.g. a jacket, and style it with neutrals like a plain grey or black pair of trousers. Our T_niche Roland pants or JMVB Vogue trousers will be perfect with check. Check pants can also look great. Wear these with a slogan Tee or a plain blouse like our JMVB Meeka Blouse.
