Key points to combine your checkered suit to perfection

Checkered suits have always been present in our wardrobe, however, for this season its presence takes strength and become a reference of style and trend of the coolest days of the year. Its replenished strength has been seen in collections such as Gucci, Berluti, Zegna and Fendi, to summarize just a few, in a wide range of design and color.

A fabric traditionally associated with Scotland, which is why it also receives the name Scottish painting. This pattern follows a composition of stripes of different sizes and tones that intertwine with each other forming pictures: an identical result to the fabric used in the traditional kilt and, on this side of the world, in school uniforms.
