Inspired by Princess Anne the Heritage Chic look is having a revival. Longer-length skirts, check trousers and quilted jackets, teamed with camel cashmere is perhaps the ultimate autumnal look this season.

For those a little wary of this bold chequered trend, we suggest teaming a navy quilted barber jacket with a junky plaid scarf, jeans and brogues. For the braver of you the high street is full of check trousers and skirts. We recommend keeping your top half understated with a classic cream blouse. For the finishing touches you won’t go wrong with some ladylike studs.

The midi was the hero skirt length of last season and it’s set to stay. Add pleats and a tartan check in to the mix and you’ve got yourself a positively prim and proper look.
