If I had to choose a single pattern to wear this season, checks would definitely be it! Aside from being one of the biggest trends this season, the reason I am particularly fond of this print is because it’s extremely versatile but also, because it brings an effortlessly cool vibe to an outfit. Great with just about anything and everything, it’s the perfect middle between casual and sophisticated, which is why it works so well with both casual and dressier pieces, and is equally relevant for day and night.
Though I am obviously a huge fan of the classic black and white checkered pattern ( last seen here & here ), what I love about this season in particular is the fact that we are seeing this print in a great variation of colors, and the Raquel Allegra Macintosh Trench Coat I am wearing in today’s post is a great example of that.
Though my love for trench coats runs very deep in general, the one I am wearing in this post is definitely a favorite at the moment. First and foremost: COLOR, COLOR, COLOR!!!! I absolutely adore the combination of white, soft blue, and red, because it tends to look amazing with denim but also white accessories, which just happen to be rather big news this season. Another reason – something about a soft trench always gets to me, maybe because it feels so cozy and comfortable, maybe because it looks so effortlessly cool, or maybe, and this is the most likely scenario, it’s the combination of both. Basically, a winning combination – comfortable, stylish, and effortlessly chic, I mean, what else can I ask for!
