Always a classic winter staple, the woven plaid coat has stood the test of time and kept us cosy in the colder months. This season, checks set the trend on the autumn/winter 2013 catwalk and brought a modern appeal to the traditional tartan. With inspirational looks from Celine, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Emilia Wickstead, how will you embrace the check? With the bold head-to-toe look or perhaps a more subtle take on the plaid path?
