Thank god February is such a short month, and good news, in a few weeks Spring officially starts! Spring is a great time to make some changes in our wardrobe. There is spring cleaning and, of course, shopping, since it is the best time to add something new to your wardrobe. So, why not cheer up with some color in your wardrobe. When talking about suits, checks are definitely in this spring!
A check suit is a perfect option for everyone – you can have your suit made really colourful with a bold pattern or you can choose modest colours for your suit, but make it shine with a colourful lining that only you (and well, maybe some closest people also) know exists. This option is good for those working in an office with a bit of strict dress code.
Some people might feel they need to be a bit careful with checked suits, but there is actually no reason to be. Check style is a casual and simple way to lift a look and stand out from the crowd. So yes, wearing checks will lead to you being checked out more, which means you should totally be comfortable in your suit. So, how to choose the perfect one for you? We’ll give you some tips:
* Go for a print you’re comfortable with. If patterns are new to your wardrobe, start with the classic: a solid Prince of Wales check suit in a natural shade of navy or grey is a good place to start. If you like to be seen and noticed – go for the bold prints.
* Don’t be scared. The beauty of a check suit lies in simplicity. It’s actually really hard to go wrong with these. The number one and easiest rule is that all checked suits need a muted, tonal piece to go with it- an understated shirt, tie and formal lace-ups add a clean finish. You can’t go wrong with that. Mixing different patterns need more knowledge. So start simple.
* Combine! Wearing a full check suit is very stylish and festive. But if you need a more casual style, separate your suit. Try to wear your blazer with jeans, or your checked pants with a crisp shirt or comfy turtleneck. It looks casual without losing elegance!
* New trends come and go but checks are timeless. They will never go out of style, but will always make a statement. So, treat it as an investment purchase.
