3 Ways To Wear: Checked Shirt
5/31/2015
For me, a checked shirt is a wardrobe essential. In my
opinion, they can be dressed both up and down, and by adding simple accessories
can be made to look formal. Often when I’m going to an event which does not
have a specific dress code, I’ll carry a checked shirt in my bag so I can throw
it on to tone down my outfit. Here are my three looks using a simple checked
shirt. The red/green/blue checked shirt I’m wearing in all the looks is from TK
Maxx, and was around £15.
Everyday Look
I like this look because it is casual yet looks like you
made an effort (a recurring theme in my outfits). I paired shirt with a pair of
black skinny jeans from Dorothy Perkins, as well as a pair of black platform
ankle-boots (also from TK Maxx, costing £20). I added a Topshop necklace which
I purchased in the sale for £5 (a bargain, as far as Topshop goes). I think
that this look is a complete classic, and is definitely one of my go-to
outfits.
Super Casual Look
This second outfit incorporates the same checked shirt and
jeans from the previous outfits, but on my feet, I am wearing a pair of plain
black Converse trainers, and I also unbuttoned the shirt and wore a red basic
T-shirt from H&M underneath. I think this is a good way to tone down the smartness
of the shirt, and it creates a more chilled-out and casual look, which I like.
Dressy Look
My third and final outfit is a slightly dressier way of
wearing this shirt: I’m wearing it with a blue dress from Primark for £5, which
I think is a steal as this dress is very flattering and for me, holds the right
balance between being dressy, yet also somewhat casual. I also paired it with my
black New Look loafers with gold detailing on them (because I love them) and of
course, tights, because I live in England. To make this look more formal I
would wear a necklace and some more accessories and also pair it with a nice
bag.
So, in conclusion, this is why I think checked shirts are a
complete wardrobe essential and those are the three ways that I would wear one.
I hope very much that you liked them and that this was useful.
