Take the square route with these chequered delights for your wardrobe and your home …
Why do checks always have such appeal? Perhaps, because they always feels crisp, or box fresh. Gladly, it’s a fashion trend that always endures, season upon season: whether you’re brightening up a dining space with a zinging gingham tablecloth or levelling out your wardrobe with moody Prince of Wales check trousers. Fans of dopamine decor will delight in the collaboration between Arket and Swedish artist Evelina Kroon, the result of which is reinvented tartan style blankets in searing brights. Throw one over the back of a sofa – it’ll be sure to bring a smile. Meanwhile, Korean-London designer Rejina Pyo’s chequered blouses come with XXL collars that are sure to turn heads. If you do wear your best checks this weekend, remember to cheer on the boys in green, as Ireland faces Scotland at the Six Nations on Sunday.
