A/W 20 Print Trend - Checkmate!

Whilst we didn't see a huge amount of print on the runway, trend speaking that is, there was one print that did crop up countless times - Check/Plaid. Arguably one of the most classic prints, which has been used by designers for years, it came in many guises for A/W 20.

Gucci took the traditional route, with floor-sweeping tartan skirts in traditional colours. Continuing to play with tartan, Monse and Rokh both showcased modern daywear by incorporating spliced tartan prints together. I love how this approach gave the humble tartan print a new lease of life for 2020.

Over in London, Riccardo Tisci's latest collection for Burberry saw models take to the runway in deconstructed check shirting. This relaxed daywear was one of the most wearable outings for this trend. Large-scale 'picnic blanket' checks were fashioned into wool dresses at Dries Van Noten, vintage Victoriana dresses were seen at Luisa Beccaria and statement multi-coloured checked outerwear took centre stage at Shrimps.

Even for those who tend to steer clear of print, plaid is undoubtedly one of the easiest ways to adapt print into your wardrobe. It can easily be incorporated and into your current wardrobe and whilst it may be 'on trend' for this season, it never really goes out of style.
