The Checkered Shirt: How to Style Your Most Versatile Piece

Few articles of clothing will work harder for you than a checkered shirt. A check pattern is visually interesting without being attention-grabbing or distracting, so it pairs well with just about everything.

Tied up, buttoned down, or worn as an insulating layer, a checkered shirt will always go with your ensemble no matter your gender. Here are a few ways to go about it:

Straight Up

A checkered shirt can stand alone as a simple top. Worn with a pair of black skinny jeans and boots or your favorite skirt, all you have to do is mind your color pairings. Pair a red and blue checkered shirt with a bottom that picks up one of the shirt’s colors for a look that’s unified, but not too matchy.

Around the Waist

When knotted loosely around your waist, a checkered shirt communicates a laid-back, skater-friendly vibe that harkens back to 90s grunge. By wearing it around your waist, your checkered shirt is not only a portable layer for when it gets chilly, but also gives your look a patterned visual element. Knot your shirt around a pair of cut-off denim shorts and a casual tee and perfect your skate tricks.

Loose and Open

With this styling trick, you’re essentially turning your checkered shirt into a cardigan. This is especially cute when you play with patterns — stripes and plaid clash in a good way. Ground the pattern mixing with black add-ons like a pair of streetwise boots and a leather skirt.

Tied Up

Get a little bit country by knotting the bottom ends of your checkered shirt together at the waist for a figure-flattering, sassy look. Paired with high-waist jeans or shorts, you’ll achieve a curvy silhouette that’s not too serious. Pro tip: when tying, make sure that the side without any buttons is the one on top, and knot it twice.

Under a Jacket

Sometimes just a jacket isn’t enough, but it’s too warm for a sweater. Ward off the cold with a checkered shirt under your favorite moto or denim jacket to add both insulation and complexity to your outfit. This look is effortlessly casual alongside distressed denim — add a pair of heeled booties and a beanie for unaffected polish.

Now that you’ve learned our favorite styling tricks, enjoy exploring your checkered shirt’s many possibilities.
