Don't panic!

No-one’s suggesting you go out and buy a stetson and go all cowgirl, but there are ways to work checked and gingham clothes without looking like a Lone Ranger extra or a primary school pupil.

Topshop is probably the best one-stop shop to pick up some great checked goodies and have everything from shorts to pencil skirts and shirts in the pretty pattern.

For a more purse-friendly option, head to Internacionale for their gorgeous sheer gingham blouse that will be prefect for nights out.

Pretty soon, everyone will be checking out your hot new look.
