Patterns are excellent ways to add some life and fun to your wardrobe, and mixing patterns are even better. So, if you have been sticking to basic block colours for the past ten years, now is the time to be bold and embrace checks.

Checks are some of the latest trends to pop up in the fashion scene, this retro-inspired style is a cute way to brighten up your regular ensemble, and it is easy to work it for every season. It never hurts to try something new, that will bring a bright new hue that stands out from your usual neutral palette.

We all know that being able to dress chicky and stylish every day is a skill that can be difficult to master. It is more difficult when it comes to dressing stylishly, organising, and editing your closet, sometimes.

Most often, we always ask ourselves, “how we can create a great outfit”. If you cannot even see what you have, therefore, getting to know your body shape is key. It helps a lot to make decisions on types, colours and styles that works for you.

If most times you cannot identify that, just consider yourself a petite pear shape. Highlight your shoulders, and spotlight on your shape and favourite features.

Great style is built from trying new things. Who knows what trends you might discover you love by giving it a trial?

There is a multitude of ways you can wear pop colour checks, no matter your preferences. You can style them up or down, and instantly turn heads wherever you want.

It is good to have fun experimenting with different fabrics, colours, and embellishments, while maintaining the confidence of knowing that you already look fantastic. If you are not sure of what clothes work best for you, why not give it a try, and see how fun it is going to be bringing a look to your closet?
