Look of the Week: Check, Please

By

Menswear's well-established love affair with old-school Scottish prints is heating up for spring. 


This season we're seeing a platoon of plaids in everything from classic black-and-white houndstooth to contrast tartan, offering variety and versatility for every modern man.

1. Thom Browne Houndstooth Jacquard and Leather Brogues, $875

Tailored or casual, this shoe steps from day to night with ease and class.

2. Neil Barrett Tie, $130

Be the coolest guy at the office or the rebel at the black-tie. 

3. Etro Check Pocket Square, $110

A dash of yellow and just a peek of plaid. 

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Harmony Plaid Cap, $68.60

Hats off to this color-popping check.

5. Thom Browne Jacquard-Woven Cotten-Blend Suit Shorts, $770

Preppy Americana or Brit Punk – these shorts could go either way, or fall nicely in the middle. 

6. Topman Green Tartan Contrast Short Sleeve Shirt, $50

Just the right checks and balances. 

7. David Hart Wool Bow Tie, $115

Classic check. Contemporary cut.
