Trend of the week: Graphic prints

Prepare for a crash course in fashion math, says Annmarie O’Connor.

INSPIRATION

This season graphic prints and precision tailoring multiply for a squared approach to looking sharp. Whether you prefer the clean geometry of Sacai or Simone Rocha’s heritage herringbone, the result it a lovely lesson in modern geometry.

STYLE NOTES

* Make a statement with a bold check coat – perfect for upscaling the simplest jeans and tee combo.

* Feeling brave? Create a noughts and crosses effect by clashing checks and polka dots. Tackle the trend by keeping to a monochrome colourway.

* Soften the print with a cosy oversized knit or sharpen its edges with lashings of leather.

* Trend shy? Box clever with a simple check accessory like a scarf or bag.
