Like designer Manish Bansal, add the same pattern of checks to your shoes. Also experiment with a slant hem that takes a simple chequered shirt to a new level

Don&rsquo;t just restrict your checks usage to prints. Take inspiration from Tanieya Khanuja&rsquo;s origami-style chequered creation that makes basket and chair weaving patterns look glam.

Borrow a chequered shirt from your other half&rsquo;s wardrobe to pair with a sari. You can also tuck in the shirt to shorten the length. Pic/Bipin Kokate
