Over the last few years, there’s one print trend I’ve remained entirely faithful to, almost to the point of obsession. I’m talking about gingham. I have more gingham dresses than I can count, and even my favourite bikini (oh, how I miss thee) features the wholesome cottagecore print. However, I consider it to predominately be a warm-weather print, best suited to breezy fabrications and billowing silhouettes, which means that gingham is absent from my outfit rotation right now.
Ordinarily, this would make me sad and leave me pining for the lighter days of spring, but this year, there’s a fresh microtrend that loans itself better to the winter months and that has me completely distracted. I’m talking about checkerboard prints—no, they’re not the same as gingham.
A checkerboard print usually consists of squares in two different colours positioned in alternating positions. As its name suggests, think of chess to checkerboards.
