HOW TO WORK WITH HERITAGE CHECKS

It's a known thing that Japanese brand Sacai specializes in bringing fresh twists to classic prints, so it came as no surprise that switching up the styling of heritage checks was high on the designer’s agenda. Here, the trick is all about layering: mix a fuzz-lined puffer jacket with an OG patterned midi coat (yep, believe) and tie the look up with a pair of statement heeled boots.

First inspiration pin-up done and done — here’s your second. When ASOS Insider Anna picked out a neutral-hued plaid jacket for fall, she also pulled out a colorful style trick to help up her seasonal game. Take a lemon turtleneck sweater and tuck it into a vinyl mini skirt before braving the chill with a pair of party-ready leopard-print sandals.

Now you’re sold on boxfresh prints, it’s time to find your own trophy piece. This checked number by ASOS comes ready for greatness with an oversized fit and a wool-mix feel. Match with a gray turtleneck, dark denim and Dr. Martens for the dreamiest of day looks.
