Checkered prints
Women's plaid pattern clothing
We sometimes hesitate when faced with checks: too classic, too bold, difficult to match… And yet, they have this unique power to transform an outfit in an instant. Available in an infinite number of prints and colors, they offer as many possibilities as there are personalities, from the most discreet to the most daring, and naturally enhance autumn-winter wardrobes.
Whether you choose a statement piece to wear alone or a total look for the more daring, check patterns structure the silhouette and imbue each garment with a crazy elegance.
Follow our guide to master these trendy and timeless prints. You'll discover how they can elevate your wardrobe to suit every moment of the day.
What types of checkered patterns does Petite Mendigote sell?
Check patterns are making a comeback season after season, establishing themselves as key pieces in the Petite Mendigote collection. We love them because they exude character and originality, and are perfect for free-spirited, active women for any occasion. Each fabric tells a story; it's up to you to choose the one that will capture your heart.
Tartan, the Scottish checkered print
With its interlacing horizontal and vertical lines in contrasting colors, tartan is inseparable from Scottish kilts. We love its rock-and-roll, bold look that instantly energizes any outfit. This checkered pattern looks wonderful on a skirt, trousers, or a shirt, ideally chosen as the statement piece. The rest of the look then becomes minimalist, almost austere, allowing it to take center stage. A simple and stylish way to express your personality without ever sacrificing comfort.
Prince of Wales checks
Derived from tartan, the Prince of Wales check pattern exudes absolute chic. Whether two-tone for a distinctly British look or multicolored for those who like to add a more unexpected touch, it captivates with its natural elegance. It's a pleasure to wear it with a structured skirt or an impeccably tailored blazer. A women's checked coat is also incredibly appealing. It's the ideal print to enhance any silhouette with that touch of understated refinement that makes all the difference.
The gingham pattern: the glamorous checkered print
An iconic, typically French pattern linked to the city of Vichy, it combines solid, white, and halftone checks , creating a visual interplay that is both soft and charming. Often associated with Brigitte Bardot, it embodies that French chic we adore. Choose it for a head-to-toe look for a perfectly confident retro style, or opt for it as a shirt, tucked into jeans, for a more bohemian and effortlessly chic look. We also love finding it on accessories: clutches, bags, tote bags, or even shopping bags like the SAI model from Petite Mendigote. A simple pleasure to indulge in without guilt.
Houndstooth: the chic checkered print
Typically black and white, houndstooth instantly exudes sophistication. It's worn on A-line skirts, long coats, or structured pieces that demand attention. This check pattern appeals to women seeking a chic, modern, and timeless look.
Petite Mendigote puts the checkered pattern at the center of its collection:
