Heritage Checks | How to style tweeds and tartans, with a twist

Old-school checks are trending for autumn – think fashion in tweeds, tartans and houndstooth patterns. The fabrics may be heritage but these are closet classics with a modern twist, investment pieces you’ll wear season after season.

Suit yourself

Wear the heritage trend from head to toe in this statement suit in pink tweed. Featuring a double-breasted blazer and wide-leg trousers, this tailored two-piece is an investment outfit you’ll wear again and again, whether you pair the pieces together or style them as separates. Layer it with a rose-toned blouse to make the pink checks pop or dress it down with a relaxed t-shirt in grey marl, and a colourful crossbody bag.

Check mates

What happens when you mix a mini houndstooth pattern with a graphic check? The answer is this berry-toned midi dress – and with oversized tartan stripes in clashing blue and bright orange, it’s the perfect foil to autumn’s classic earthy shades. To style this statement shirt dress, layer it with accessories that highlight the contrasting colours of the checks and add our cropped navy teddy coat for texture and warmth.

Short and sweet

If your wardrobe has a need for tweed, this mini-length pinafore dress is the style to wear. Short, sweet and oh-so layerable, this is a mini dress with an excess of styling options for both work and play. To lean into the retro look, layer the dress with our fine mesh floral top, or double up on the heritage trend with an argyle jumper in camel. And don’t forget the accessories – choose pink hair accessories and jewellery to match the sweet design.
