Checkers are making a comeback and this time it’s vintage, modern, and everything in between. Designers play with the versatility of the pattern through different materials, silhouettes, colors, and proportions. No doubt, creations this Fall and Winter will be full of plaids, gingham, tartan patterns, and argyle applications.

As the weather cools down, there are a multitude of options for incorporating this trend to suit lower temperatures. For a more conservative or traditional approach, several designers offer sophisticated and sedated looks in hushed gray tones and curve-accentuating dresses, boxy separates, and simple overcoats. For those who like to take the path less traveled, spate of whimsical, audacious numbers in bright hues and irregular configurations have also made landfall for some counterbalancing effects from the other end of the spectrum.
