Varieties of Check Prints
There are several types of checkered tissues, which, in turn, determine the characteristics of models when creating styles. The classic version is tartan (Scottish cage). This is not only a print, but a twill weave of woolen threads of various colors. There is an official register of more than 6 thousand varieties of tartans. The pattern is determined by the location of the threads.
Checkered print (hand-drawn) has even more options. It allows a wide field of experiments with directivity, size, and density of graphics. A checkered dress in black and red can be called a traditional timeless classic, even if the pattern differs from the generally accepted version (plaid). The print "broken cell" or "crow's feet" is one of the innovations in the stylization of the trend. It is presented in a wide variety of graphic and color solutions.
Features of styling print
The red checkered dress has several styling features. The color scheme is suitable for girls with any hair color. It is worth paying attention only to the features of the figure, which dictate the choice of style. The ideal option is a feminine hourglass silhouette. A checkered dress on such a figure will look gorgeous. But there is one drawback: traditionally, the figure is located horizontally. This turns the silhouette into a visual rectangle, smoothing out all shapes. To achieve balance, you can use the emphasized waist (belt, shawl, scarf), upholstery, asymmetric print layout and complementary parts and accessories. The red-checked dress can be selected in various styles: Empire style, sheath, shirt dress, dress, in the form of a dressing gown, vintage with a full skirt, etc. Special attention should be paid to the choice of length: mini, midi, maxi options.
Classic English style for office
A red checkered dress (tartan) is an ideal option for the office. The traditionally preferred cut is a “shirt” with sleeves and a turn-down collar. In combination with a fitted strict top, a fluffy skirt that organically looks in a checkered print will go well. The pleated option would also be appropriate. The emphasized waist and contrasting color of the cuffs and collar will add sophistication to the style.
A dress in a red cage of a free silhouette can be quite insidious, since it completely smooths the proportions of the figure. To solve this situation for the office style will help a plain cardigan or jacket, which will outline the proportions. Also complement the plaid dress with shoes, ankle boots or high heeled boots. It is better if they are black or brown.
Boho for a romantic date
A long check dress will organically fit into this style. Professionals recommend choosing an outfit made of light flowing fabric. The secret is combined incongruous. Complete the cage with plain lace, a scarf, volumetric jewelry. The dress will play the role of the main color accent, so the rest of the details should be neutral, complementary. It is better if the checkered print is asymmetric, and not strictly horizontal.
The second option is a combination of wool and knitwear. For example, girls can wear a fitted plaid dress (short or midi) and a large knit sweater, complemented by a voluminous scarf and shoes at low speed.
Grunge style for walks and music festivals

A dress in a red cage can be adapted to this style with the help of key rules, thanks to the carelessness, layering of the ensemble. Pay attention to complementary shoes and accessories. In many ways, they will tell about the intention of styling. Volumetric beanie hats, wide-brimmed hats, military-style shoes that complement casual details, as well as any attributes of a vintage style will emphasize the uniqueness of the images.
