Spotlight On: Checked Shirts

You’d be hard-pushed to find a men’s wardrobe that doesn’t consist of at least one classic checked shirt. Whether you’re channelling rugged outdoorsman vibes or keeping it clean-cut for the city, checked shirts are the ultimate wardrobe staple. From bold red tones to subtle monochrome, there’s a check to suit every style and season. Let’s delve into the versatility of this iconic piece, complete with our top styling tips…

 

 

Start strong with a bold red check, paired with dark denim jeans and sturdy black boots, for a timeless pairing ideal for casual days or outdoor adventures. Roll up the sleeves to add a touch of rugged charm, or layer over a plain black t-shirt for a laidback yet put-together ensemble. The key here is confidence – lean into the vibrant red tones and let our Brushed Flannel Check Shirt do the talking.

For those who prefer a muted colour palette, our Neve Check Shirt stands in earthy tones that feel modern and approachable. Pair this shirt with slim-fit blue jeans and lace-up shoes for an effortlessly cool weekend outfit, perfectly balancing relaxed and refined, taking you from coffee dates to Sunday strolls. Add a neutral coat for those chillier days to keep the vibe cohesive.

Monochrome checked shirts offer a clean and versatile aesthetic. Pair our Two Pocket Flannel Shirt with slim grey trousers and white sneakers for an urban edge that works for everything from brunch to casual Fridays at work. This look thrives on simplicity – keep accessories minimal and let the crisp, high contrast checks speak for themselves.

 

 

Blue checks are synonymous with a preppy, collegiate vibe. Style your shirt with cream chinos and a white t-shirt for a fresh and youthful look. Finish with white trainers for a polished yet approachable outfit. Our Zermatt Flannel Regular Fit Shirt is ideal for transitional weather, offering versatility while keeping you comfortable and effortlessly stylish.

Checked shirts for men are far from basic – they’re a style powerhouse waiting to elevate your wardrobe. Whether you prefer bold, rustic reds or subtle monochromes, there’s a checked shirt for every personality and occasions. Pair them with denim, chinos or tailored trousers to adapt your look, and always finish with the right footwear to ground your outfit. Ready to check into style?
