Personally, I just got a pair of the checkered Vans for Christmas, and I love them. To me, they represent our generation, and the current style of the common teenager today. However, I am not saying anyone who has these shoes are just like everyone else, that's not true! Its all about what you wear the shoes with. In my case, I chose a pair of ripped black jeans (the rips are hard to see since they are on my knees), a fuzzy peach colored sweater, and a dark peach hat with the peach emoji on it. This is one of my most favorite outfits, and I think the Vans complete the look well. It's casual, and an easy look to wear going out with friends, or just a normal day.
Even though checks are not worn as much as they were in Dior's day, there are still a lot of different styles of them, suiting every age of people (Dior, 21). I've seen people mostly wear checkered shirts, or checkered shoes. Personally, I don't wear patterns, including checks, very often, except for my Vans. I think checks can be over worn, and worn in the wrong way. They can over power the person wearing the pattern, since if there is too much of the print, it creates a very busy outfit, which is never appealing to look at. However, if worn the right way, and not too much, the checkered print is a great go-to for a detailed and easy look. Even though most people probably won't love checks as much as Christian Dior did, it is still a great piece of fashion. In conclusion, do you agree that checks is still a popular style in today's fashion, or do you disagree? If so, why?
