"CHECK" it out.
The ‘print of spring 2015’ is here: GINGHAM.
Everybody loves checks and we have mostly seen checks on shirts. But that isn't the only way you can adorn them. This season you will find checks everywhere- whether it be dresses on the runway, matching set of checked separates on celebrities or checked high waist skirts/pant/shorts in high street fashion brands.
From Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, to Altuzarra, everyone agrees! Check (pun intended) it out…

Time for some tips !!! Here we go-
Checks are chic, and you must definitely invest in one if you want to get tagged as stylish.
1) The midi/maxi high waist skirt is hot this season, so get a checked skirt or wear a gingham print top with a solid coloured midi skirt.
Vice-versa: Go for a solid colour top while pairing a checked skirt. Also, dont forget a stylish clutch/sling bag and heels to complete the look.

2) The dress. Go bold and opt for a Gingham print dress. It spells 'effortlessly stylish'.
Not too sure, you can carry it off? Get a jacket/blazer of solid colour over it and you are on. Don't forget to finish it up with a bold coloured lip.
