Attending the Forbes Power Women’s Summit, Demi Moore confirmed what fashion lovers already know: nothing elevates your look like a statement suit. She showed us exactly how to wear heritage checks this season with style and confidence.
Heritage Checks Return in Full Force
Recent fashion seasons have been dominated by heritage checks—from Daniel Lee reviving classic Burberry plaids to Saint Laurent’s sharp, tailored offerings. These patterns, such as check, houndstooth, and tweed, are rapidly becoming one of the major autumn/winter 2025 trends. Adding one of these prints to your outfit is a surefire way to give wardrobe staples fresh life.
Demi’s Look: Mixing Prints & Autumnal Tones
At the summit in New York, Demi Moore appeared in a bold outfit: a Saint Laurent wool blazer in dark brown, red, blue, and black checks paired with wool culottes in soft beige, earthy green, and brown. The pieces didn’t match perfectly, but they worked beautifully together—proof that a formal suit doesn’t always mean a matching set or long trousers.
Styling with Details
Under her blazer, Demi wore a white silk blouse with a tie-neck that contrasted elegantly with the heavier autumnal tones of the suit. Her finishing touch was a pair of light brown slingback heels, the Vendome by Saint Laurent, which added polish without overpowering the look.
Get the Look Without the Price Tag
The good news is that heritage check tailoring is everywhere on the high street right now. A beige heritage check blazer from Nobody’s Child costs £129, while tailored trousers in brown check from the same brand are £89. & Other Stories offers a tie-neck silk blouse for £139, Boden has a boxy double-breasted blazer for £229 and Bloomsbury wool trousers in Prince of Wales check for £169. For footwear, Mango has satin court shoes for £45.99, providing a way to finish the outfit without a designer budget.
Making Checked Tailoring Work All Year
A sharply cut blazer can be worn with trousers or even a midi skirt to create a cohesive look that requires little effort. Outside the office, wearing one piece of the suit with casual items like a tee or a knit makes the style more versatile. To avoid clashing, keep your checks and colours in harmony, as coordinating tones and the scale of prints ensures the outfit feels intentional and stylish. Heritage check tailoring is more than just a passing trend—it is a versatile style tool that works now and will carry you through many seasons.
