Check shirts are causing a storm within men’s fashion and I couldn’t be happier if I am honest! I loved this trend last year, and think they have only gotten better since then. I love the roots from western films and the overall “worker” feel they have to them. Doesn’t get more manly than a check shirt and worker boots right?!

I particularly like oversizing them and throwing them on over vests, t-shirts, and even lightweight knitwear to give your outfits some unusual and creative layering options. One of my favourite looks right now is to button it up to the top but leave the bottom half open with a graphic tee on underneath. Something slightly unusual when it comes to layering, but also an idea that will set you apart from the crowd.

You can pull these colours off easily by just toning down the bottom half of your outfit and keeping it really simple. Think nice dark slim jeans and a simple pair of high tops. For those that want to go all out I would recommend a great thick pair of leather military boots in order to really nail down that strong “worker” vibe. A military jacket or a nice thick piece of chunky knitwear (plain colours) layered on top of the check shirt would also look great and really play on a couple of the biggest trends present this year.I think you should get involved early before the new season even kicks in.
