If you want to nod to the trend without fully diving in, a checked blazer paired with a crisp, white shirt is a good place to start with. Having replaced the perennial denim jacket, the checked blazer this season comes in a variety of styles and proportions. Double-breasted, cropped, boxy, oversized, slim fitted: the choice is yours.
Everyone went crazy for this ah-mazing PINKO double-breasted checked blazer during London Fashion Week when I first wore it. Confirming what I already knew that this is set to be the most worn piece from my wardrobe.
Tip Wear yours with high-rise jeans and heels for an elegant and sophisticated ensemble. Add a pop of colour, just like I did with my burgundy accessories.

Oh, and before you ask, I’m wearing that shirt that you would have seen me wearing so often on Instagram. It’s a recent addition to my wardrobe from Coast ‘Friday’ collection, styled and modeled by Olivia Palermo. For the third season running, Coast has teamed up with Olivia, but this time around for a more casual collection.
There are some really versatile and budget-friendly pieces in this collection, so I highly recommend to have a look online. As ever, such an exclusive collection won’t stick around for long, so get it or regret it!
