This week on The Spot, we’re going to zero in on the four-sided style phenomenon bound to refresh look after look. When you throw a chic check pattern into the equation, the outfit outcome can only be positive! Pieces like the Slim Fit Dress Shirt from Original Penguin, with its deep colors and casually contrasting triangles, are a great way to jump on the trend.







Bright and simple and easy on the eyes, those are elements our wardrobe occasionally needs and one of the many style situations a check can fulfill.

Shirts such as the Men’s Slim Fit Stretch Check Dress Shirt, from the Vince Camuto collection available at Macy’s, are essential for those countless times when you’re stuck searching for an instantly matchable outfit foundation. With a top like this, you can easily build a daytime, workplace or evening look around lovely edges in periwinkle, teal, and navy.





Grey is an all-time favorite when it comes to fashion forward possibilities because it goes with pretty much every other color on the spectrum.

With items like the Men’s Ultimate Slim Fit Non-Iron Performance Stretch Plaid Dress Shirt, from the Ryan Seacrest Distinction collection created for Macy’s, you can wear jeans, slacks, and chinos in all of your personally preferred shades and be confident in your undeniably seamless coolness. 









Pink and blue are such a great combination for contemporary class, and putting that peaceful pairing onto a checkered tie is a surefire way to enhance your wardrobe this autumn season.

With a neck piece like the Men’s Palmer Slim Check Tie, from the Bar III collection created for Macy’s, you can be confident in yourself and the outfit elevating power of pleasant pastel.
