Is it really possible to wear checks without looking like a cowboy?!?

Checks are going to be everywhere again this season after big designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Dries Van Noten featured them heavily during their catwalk shows. Like every fashion trend though it’s very easy to get wrong and if you go a check too far then you’ll look more cowboy than haute couture!?!

So, here at
Fashicon we are asking that age old question: Is it really possible to wear checks without looking like a cowboy?!?!

Men’s
checked shirts have always looked great when teamed with jeans, and this season there are some very subtly coloured versions available which are bang on trend. Men of any age look great in checks and a carefully selected shirt will bring your wardrobe up to date in an instant. Take the Godfrey shirt from Farah Vintage, a classic design which has been brought right up to date with the coloured check detail and will look great teamed with either jeans or trousers, giving you an instant suaveness without looking like you’ve tried too hard!?!

In the case of checks – it always pays to remember that less is most definitely more, and if you start to look like you’ve lost your bagpipes then it’s time to tone it down!?!

If you like the idea of keeping up to date with the very latest menswear trends, but would prefer not to be the laughing stock of the town when you go out – why not check out our
website at www.fashicon.co.uk for some ideas?!?
