On Trend: Prince of Wales Check Blazer

For centuries, checks have been an important part of men’s wardrobe; and this year more than ever the tartan and Prince of Wales check trend are going nowhere.

The comeback trend of 2017, will not only see designers applying checks to blazers but to everything from matching suits, knitwear, bomber jackets and button-down shirts. If you were a big fan then great, because this year checks are about to get bolder and with countless styling opportunities.

How to Wear the Trend?

Checks started off as a subtle trend, and then moved on to becoming more daring.

With winter just around the corner, a lightweight Prince of Wales check fawn blazer would be the perfect sound of investment for the coming season.

Complement your go-to staple with tonal shirts and sweaters or if you want yourself a classic office update then go for a sharp slim-fitting matching suit matched with a crisp shirt or trying adding a roll-neck sweater, for a smart yet a stylish alternative.
