Checks & Stripes That Are 'Hot' This Season

Checks and stripes are two of the most popular men fashion trends. There was really never a time when checks and stripes were totally out of fashion. Fashion trends for men change and so do the types of checks and stripes. So to find out what kind of checked shirts and striped t-shirts are 'in' this season, we tracked some of the the most stylish male celebrities.

As a result we have realised that Akshay Kumar has a huge fetish for checked shirts. Not only does he wear checks in his movies, he also has stripes in his personal wardrobe. He was seen wearing an over-sized checked shirt at the new year celebrations last year.

Apart from that, there is something called 'Rockstar Checks'. These checks and stripes were part of Ranbir Kapoor's bold dressing style in the movie Rockstar. We particularly liked a pair of checked dhoti pants that he had worn in the movie. Ranbir has also allowed checks to seep into his real life. We see him in many fashionable checked shirts these days.

Stripes are mainly in fashion as accentuating style. For example, Taylor Lutner is seen wearing a jacket with striped cuffs and collars. There is also Imran Khan in his rural avatar wearing a striped handkerchief around his neck.

Here are some of the best men's fashion trends involving checks and stripes this season.

Robert Pattinson's Narrow Stripes

This cool and casual striped t-shirt was sported by Robbert Pattinson in one of the Cannes 2012 events. Need we say more about hot hot it looks on him?

Salman's Partially Check Blazer

Salman Khan is famous for being a Dabangg with his style statement. This partially checked blazer would have looked funny on anyone else. But Salman carries this avant-garde style to perfection.

The Rowdy Stripes

These bright and multi-coloured stripes have come into fashion after the movie Rowdy Rathore. The USP of these stripes are that each stripe has a different breath. S,o the pattern doesn't look monotonous.

Ranbir's Neon Checks

These bold checks are usually a mix of one neon colour and 2 lighter colours. The eye-catching broad checks came into fashion after the Rockstar film released.

Checked Dhoti Pants

This is another fashion trend that came from the Rockstar movie. Checked pants would have been considered loud or crazy before this, but now it is stylish.

The Real Ranbir Checks

In real-life, Ranbir Kapoor goes for a more sober variety of checks. The combination of royal blue and dusty blue is just wow.

Striped Leather Jacket

Earlier people preferred plain leather jackets. But not only is this leather jacket a bright blue in colour, it also has fluorescent stripes on it. Loud but daring style statement.

Textbook Checked Shirt

This is a perfect example of simple checked shirt that will always be in fashion. The white base of the shirt makes it look brighter.

Pinstriped Scarf

This pinstriped scarf worn by Imran Khan would be called a 'gamcha' in the Desi tongue. It is increasingly coming into fashion as an accessory for men.

Large Checked Blazer

This dark checked blazer has been worn by Hollywood heartthrob Bradley Cooper. Since men have such few choices in their formal wear, a blazer like this would add some variety to your wardrobe.

Striped Cuff And Collars

This smart leather jacket sported by Taylor Lautner has one striking feather. That happens to be the striped cuffs and collar of the jacket. This style is not loud but cool enough to be noticed.
