Checks play a key role for the lady style. Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu combine the achromatic chequerboard with large-scale color blocks to show nonchalance. Victoria Beckham and LOEWE use kwise and purl stitches to create the fluid effect.

The color-blocking borders are appealing. Bright colors at the front center, closure and sleeve make a statement. Ribs and tapes add volume and tactility. Stripes add a slim and chic effect.
