Celebs have also been leading the way wearing checked outerwear, and honestly, who can blame them! Taylor Swift, pop sensation and Eras Tour icon, was seen in London wearing a Vivienne Westwood plaid blazer and miniskirt set, rocking it over a ruffled white blouse. Katie Holmes, actress and fashion muse, was spotted in New York City wearing a floor-length plaid trench coat in mustard yellow, black, and brown, while Kendall Jenner, supermodel and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, was seen in Paris wearing a sculpted, plaid blazer from Bottega Veneta's Resort 2025 collection. If the celebs have given their seal of approval on checks this season, you can count us in.
But, nothing is worse than falling in love with a wardrobe piece only to find your size gone, so consider this your friendly warning. Stock is limited, and sizes are disappearing quickly. If you spot your fit, add it to your basket straight away; you’ll find yourself reaching for it every single day.
