 They're a funny thing, trends. So fickle, so unpredictable. Take J.W. Anderson's Pre-Fall 2012 checked sweater, for instance. Who could have known that it would be catapulted into must-have status in the space of just a few short weeks? With its oversize silhouette and graphic pattern, Taylor Tomasi Hill, Tamu McPherson, and Julia Sarr-Jamois have all shown thier attachment to it, this windowpane knit seems well on its way to replacing the conventional striped shirts as the most ubiquitous patterned pullover around. 

Moreover, as the London Menswear F/W 2013 Fashion Week is going on, we exactly see patterns relevant to the windowspane trend. Kenzo,without those tiger-sweater garments, shows diversity including several looks with bold check and stripe patterns.

In my look, I attempt to keep the whole tone clean and chic while adding some interesting and sophisticated layering details. To begin with, I pick the wool varsity jacket with diverse textures to create a Grunge but effortless feeling.Then, it suddenly comes to my mind that I layer two pants together——  slim fit checked pants with the zipper pants as flowy hems, which strikes a balance to the whole look and perfectizes the proportion.
