Let’s take the advantage of Flashback Friday and focus on the outfits creeping in on us from the past. If you attended a boarding school, perhaps, you can relate to checkered dresses. The classic patterned style is unique and can be seen everywhere from pants to scarfs, coats, skirts etc.
Today, we are sticking with the fashionable Checkered Skirt. What makes the Checker skirt so brilliant is its ability to transition from casual to corporate smoothly, giving you a crisp new look, plus, they are cute and perfect for every season. They can be paired with anything, even with just a tee, and come in various lengths, from the pencil skirt to midi or mini. For mixing and matching with other clothing items, they are fantastic.
So, how do you style the Checkered Skirt? Well, here are some chic ways to stun with it.
Simply wear a black body-con top along with your white and black checker skirt. Correlate this outfit with your black pump heels.
Black and white outfits are very fashionable. A monochrome full flared skirt with a black tee gives a posh, yet defining, bold look.
Style your full flared checkered skirt with a red high neck sleeveless top and finish with a black pointed toe heel. You don’t even need accessories.
You can adorn a comfy black sweater with your plaid skirt. Bedeck yourself with a few pieces of jewellery and slip into some heels.
For a casual demeanour, you can pick out vividly designed tops that will contrast well with the classic checkered midi skirt, matched with a crisscross bag and sunshades.
