Whether short, long, small or large, checkered coats: coats with a check pattern define autumn and underpin their reputation as a timeless classic.
Duchess Kate (38), Amanda Holden (49) or Olivia Palermo (34): This autumn they are all relying on the classic among coats and delight in models with a checked pattern. Correct styling is simple.
Straight lines, clean look
The British presenter and author Amanda Holden presents in London how the checked coat can be skilfully staged. The important thing is that he has the attention, the rest of the outfit serves as an accessory. Accordingly, Holden styles her short autumn coat with a white basic shirt and straight-cut paperbag trousers. The coat with large blue-brown checks is in the foreground. The clean look is complemented by black ankle boots, a black handbag, sunglasses and discreet jewelry.
If you are aiming for a finer, more playful look, you should opt for smaller ones instead of the large checks that Holden wears. The styling rule remains the same. The autumn coat comes into its own best when it is combined with straight lines and plain-colored parts. For example, fashion influencer Olivia Palermo (34) wears a knee-length model in bright pink in Italy. Including a white shirt and simple trousers. Duchess Kate chooses a very similar model in muted colors. She also uses a plain-colored top and dress pants to make the autumn look perfect.
Black and white – anything but boring
Not a coat, but still trendy: the checked poncho by influencer Leonie Hanne (32). The fashion blogger charms in Paris in a designer creation by Dior, which is an autumn eye-catcher with a hood and fringes on the hem. Hanne styles the black and white poncho with a white dress under which she wears a black top with mesh inserts. Add white boots, black bag, gloves and mask – and the look is complete.
