Get ready to brighten up grey autumn days with a splash of all things chic and checked. Seen on a whole host of top catwalks for this autumn/winter including Stella McCartney and Versace, checks took on a variety of different aesthetics – from traditional tartans to a modern twist in red, blue, green and monochrome.

From grunge at Yves Saint Laurent to masculine shapes at Celine, checks are the new black for the coming season, and Lowie are on hand to help you inject some of this autumnal trend into your wardrobe.

Key pieces include our Check Bubble Hem Overshirt, in a gorgeous oversized red and blue check fabric with corduroy detail panels and chunky wooden buttons. Perfect layered over fine knits and your favourite skinny jeans or chunky tights and boots, this Overshirt is a versatile piece that will keep you snug and stylish over the coming chilly months.

Our Tie Back Smock Dress features a cute blue and black check on a super flattering smock dress shape. With long sleeves and a detachable contrast silk tie back, this dress is perfect for dressing up or down this season - paired simply with black tights and your favourite jacket or with chunky heels for the evening.

One thing is for certain, checks are going to play a big part in autumn/winter wardrobes this year. Stock up on one of our Lowie offerings and stay ahead of the trends.
