The best checked shirts for men this season

Check out the print that's making a sartorial comeback

No longer just a staple piece for lumberjacks, this season the check shirt is making a welcomed and stylish return. But don’t be deterred if you’re typically one to shy away from prints; with everything from striking plaids and bold tartans, to more understated gingham patterns, the check can be found in a host of iterations to suit personal tastes. It’s also a piece that’s surprisingly easy to style; wear on its own with casual trousers, layered under a gilet, or left open over a simple tee. However it’s worn, the checked shirt will quickly become an indispensable item in your off-duty wardrobe.
