The Check Coat: undeniably the hottest print of 2017 the check pattern first dominated the blazer scene then promptly moved on to full outerwear. This is an incredibly masculine style, borrowing from true suiting trends which makes it just that much more fun to wear.

How to Style It

The check coat traditionally is done in a masculine, boxier, more oversized silhouette. This makes pairing it with feminine pieces a nice contrast or you can play into the masculine vibes by layering it over another suiting item. Today I chose to wear it over an easy pair of leather overalls and a sweater. I topped it off with a newsboy cap in a contrasting hounds tooth print to achieve the ‘contrasting suiting patterns’ idea without going overboard. Everyone’s favorite new bag style, the belt bag, adds a modern touch which contrasting black and white heels makes it just feminine enough of a look.
