Spotted during NY Fashion Week: besides accomplished and rather less accomplished interpretations of the checkered Céline coat, it seems that the original Scottish checkers is also an old-time favourite amongst New York fashion lovers. Mix & match checkers in different colours to avoid an over-the-top preppy look. Though do this creatively because it easily gets too silly, and this is fun for no one. A classic Bon Chic Bon Genre type (add the term to your fashion jargon: an elegantly classic, originally French look). Wear the checkers in a bicoloured black / red lumberjack version with straight boyfriend jeans, a simple turtleneck, and pumps. Fashionably recommended: the checkers with floral or leopard print, and you can’t go wrong.
