<span class=normal>Yes, checks were a rage last year and the trend continues. Checks or plaids have been seen on the runways and all over the streets. Its the easiest pattern to wear and super-flattering. And you can pull it off without looking like youre resurrecting the grunge trend of the early 90s. Dont be afraid to work the plaid. This season is all about colour and plaid patterns arent limited to black, white and red. Purples, yellows and soothing greys are a supremely flattering way to modernise this trend.</span>
