It's not just a checkerboard skirt: it's a midi-length skirt! It's not just a checkerboard top: it's a checkerboard peplum top. And it's not just a belt with checkerboard print: it's a super skinny belt with a checkerboard print. (I was actually so obsessed with the skirt that I stalked ASOS Curve until my size was back in stock.) |
- Bold prints are just that--bold--so avoid wearing checks on parts of your body that you're looking to minimize or divert attention from. Nervous about your thighs? Don't wear checkerboard leggings. (And yes, such things do exist.)
- It's all about scale. Medium-sized checks (like the ASOS Curve prints) are easier to wear than really large-scale checks (e.g. Kerry Washington's dress).
- If you'd like just to dip your toe in the trend, try a fabulous accessory!
