AMY KESTER: I’m a trend editor and these are the fashionable checks taking up the High Street – together with a £65 gown that appears identical to a Vivienne Westwood!

Whether you’re a fan of Claudia Winkleman’s triumphant Celebrity Traitors wardrobe or simply looking for a way to inject a print into your style, checks are the perfect pick for this season, whether you’re looking for something High Street or high end.
Front and centre are Burberry, who are known for their signature check that’s evolved over the years from what started as the lining to their trench coats.
Front row at their recent Spring Summer 26 show was ‘Man I need’ singer Olivia Dean, who was wrapped up in a cosy yet chic wool check coat with matching scarf.
You can get the look for less with this tonal style from New Look (£79.99).
Or go for a more directional fashion look and clash your checks like Emma Corrin in Miu Miu. Cos’s alpaca blend jumper would look great paired with The Fold’s wool trousers, currently 30% off in the Black Friday sale.
With recent sightings of snow, now’s the time to be reaching for your woollies. Marks & Spencer’s argyle tassel scarf in a bright cobalt blue is the perfect addition to a simple navy coat and looks far more expensive than its £26 price tag.
Fashion stylist and content creator, Sarah Corbett-Winder, has teamed up with Monsoon to launch her second collection which includes this fabulous tartan midi skirt. Complete with fringing, it’s the perfect modern take on Highland fashion.
Team with a pair of knee high leather boots and a chunky cream jumper.
I’m treating myself to anything this month it’s these platform heels from Russell & Bromley.
Part of their first ever collection under creative director Daniel Beardsworth-Shaw, they feature their AW25 house check, a richly woven silk developed with British silk mill Stephen Walters, which has been in the weaving trade for more than 300 years.
If traditional checks aren’t your cup of tea, why not opt for a more modern, graphic design?
Brora’s satin pleated skirt features an in-house-drawn check pattern in a seasonal ochre shade. And, if you want to complete the look, they have the shirt to match.
Finally if you’re looking for something that skews a little bit more festive, then Joe Browns fit and flare check dress in a Christmassy red is the one to plump for.
Reminiscent of the sort of styles you might find at Vivienne Westwood, it comes with a sweetheart neckline, but without the designer price, and at only £70 is the perfect gift… for you.
