THE WAY YOU WEAR IT...CHECKS
Ella, 18A checked blazer is a bold fashion statement and we love this mannish, retro fifties style. Paired with the high waist American Apparel skirt, long leggings and ankle boots it's a tricky play on proportions - but works. Note the rolled up sleeves: when wearing voluminous shapes a flash of slender forearm is essential and super slimming - try it with any outfit.

We went out on the street to bring you some style inspiration and show you how the fashion mavens about town are wearing checks.
