What is "check"?
Check is a pattern made up of intersecting lines, usually of different colors or shades, forming squares or rectangles of various sizes. Checks come in many different styles and variations, including gingham, plaid, houndstooth, and windowpane. They are commonly used in clothing and textiles, including shirts, dresses, skirts, suits, and blankets. The size and color of the checks can vary greatly, ranging from small and subtle to bold and eye-catching. Check patterns are often associated with different fashion styles and time periods, such as preppy, country, and punk. They can be used to create a variety of visual effects, including adding depth and texture to a garment or creating a bold, graphic statement.
