Tropical checks! FEMAIL picks out the best buys for embracing fashion’s favourite print this season

  • Emily Monckton shared her advice for embracing this season’s gingham trend
  • She recommends taking inspiration from Olivia Wilde in floral layered check
  • British style expert picked out tropical check items to suit all budgets 

This summer, there is no room for wallflowers — be prepared to stand out in the High Street’s brightest trend: tropical checks.

We see the same gingham designs in the usual pastel tones every year, but for 2020, the check is louder and busier.

For those keen to master the look, there is only one rule: don’t be afraid to clash your prints. Take a leaf from Olivia Wilde’s book and choose a floral layered check. Sunbathing in the garden? Team a swimsuit by Paper London with a large hat by Cos. Heading to the shops? Choose wide-leg trousers by Benetton with a T-shirt for a laid-back look.
