3 WAYS TO WEAR HERITAGE CHECKS

Matchy matchy
Cash your checks in style like model Laetitia by doubling up on the print. For a true seasonal win, opt for a houndstooth trench coat and match with tailored trousers in light checks. A zip-up tracksuit and skate sneaks tone down the Sherlock Holmes vibes and add a cool street-style look instead.
Top that
If an autumnal walk in the countryside isn't your thing, revamp your heritage checks with a pop of punky colour. Artist Al Ly makes them current with this purple high-neck top, before amping up the chic with wide-leg trousers and technical trainers. Finish off with a wow-worthy red patent trench coat and you've got yourself a statement weekend win.

Getting skirty
For a subtle dose of the trend? Make like ASOS Insider Barbara and channel Cher Horowitz by going Clueless with your skirt, like this wool mini number with a dreamy pearl trim. Pair it with a historical funnel-neck blouse, but avoid going too preppy by picking eclectic accessories. Think a beret and rose puffer jacket for the cutesy factor, and varsity sneakers plus sports-tipped socks for a hint of vintage style.
