How to Style Checks This Season
Our Winter/Christmas 2025 collection embraces many styles that define traditional, classic clothing. However, one pattern commands attention across our latest range, offering all the traditional, festive styling missing from your wardrobe: Checks.
This timeless pattern has woven itself into centuries of iconic styles, from high-end fashion to staple workwear. It’s an exclusive way to inject both the colours of the season along with personal pops of colour that suit you and your wardrobe best. Our Winter/Christmas 2025 collection features the best in checks. Whether you're after something for an elegant festive party or a classic design to elevate your everyday wardrobe, these pieces are not to be missed.
Once again, we proudly reintroduce ‘The Heritage Collection’, the ideal range to showcase our checks. Our newest additions feature beautiful British-made pieces, woven in the Scottish Highlands or constructed in our capital of London, flawlessly championing what Cotswold Collections does best: British Craftsmanship.
The Heritage Jacket
One of our most treasured pieces within our latest collection is the ‘Heritage Jacket’. This timeless piece champions the style and tones of the Christmas season and has been crafted with enduring British quality in mind. But what truly sets this eye-catching staple apart is its gorgeous red, black, and ecru check. This cloth began its life in Scotland, where each colour was beautifully woven into a timeless checked boucle tweed.
The cloth was then transported to London, where it was expertly transformed into a tailored jacket. This classic shape brings sophistication and polish to any look, completed with a clean collar and patch pockets.
This stunning heritage piece is one you’ll cherish for years or pass down through generations.
Style Tip: Team this piece with our black Classic Trousers or Sunray Skirt—two equally versatile investment pieces this season. Additionally, choose our Merino Turtleneck, a soft, popular style that slots effortlessly into any wardrobe for the chillier seasons. Finally, accessorise this look with our new favourites; select our Mock Croc Belt, along with our complementary Silk Scarf and Beaded Necklace.
Heritage Skirts

Each of our checked heritage skirts is designed to be a worthy investment for the festive season and beyond, whether evoking vibrant tones of red or classic hues of green. Our latest pleated styles feature a timeless check with a flattering drape, perfect for both casual and formal wear.
Our Heritage Pleated Skirts began their journey in Scotland, where their vibrant, festive checks were born. Woven from 100% wool, these stunning cloths celebrate centuries of skills passed down through generations. These traditional red, green, and navy checks were carefully chosen to inject the spirit of a classic Christmas into your wardrobe, ready for casual wear or any gathering planned with loved ones.
While our red Pleated Skirt remained in Scotland, our green Pleated Skirt was transported to Lancashire, whether they were both to be cut, pleated, and formed into a gorgeous piece. Its thick, quality checked wool cloth creates a flattering shape to ensure you feel elegant and confident throughout the season.
Style tip: Style these skirts with our Merino Turtleneck, now available in cream and red. Its soft, warming qualities ensure a polished yet well-insulated look throughout the cooler temperatures. Additionally, our range of accessories—from our leather bags to our beaded jewellery and silk scarves—will bring a classic touch to this outfit.
Checked Bias Skirt
Offering versatility for not just the festive season but for each chillier month, our Boucle Bias Skirt features a lovely check design in tones of black and cream. Crafted in London, this piece was beautifully cut on the bias to form a lovely silhouette. Its versatile check makes this an essential piece to style casually with sophistication, as well as bringing true elegance to formal looks.
Style tip: Style this piece with our snowdrop-toned Cable Detail Jumper, knitted in a quality cotton blend.
Checked Trousers
Checks do not just limit themselves to skirts and jackets; we have incorporated an array of timeless checked patterns into our latest collection, allowing our tailored trousers to champion this countryside classic print.
Choose our Classic Checked Trousers, featuring a green and navy Italian cloth. This quality pair offers the charming Christmas style of our Heritage Pleated Skirt, but in a convenient pair of trousers for those who prefer them. Team these trousers with our Merino Turtleneck, along with our 100% Lambswool Cardigan in a complementary green tone. For meals out and events, choose our 100% Silk Scarf to bring further refinement to this enduring look.
Style tip: If you prefer red tones throughout the festive season, invest in our red and black Classic Checked Trousers. Made in Great Britain, these gorgeous checks offer a stylish edge to every look. Perfect for smarter events or the office, these are a wonderful addition to any sophisticated wardrobe. Team this pair of trousers with our Chevron Pattern Jumper, a gorgeous berry-toned knit crafted in a cotton and extra-fine merino wool blend.
Dogtooth Poncho
One of our most loved checks here at Cotswold Collections is dogtooth. Making its way into our latest collection for the winter and festive seasons is our grey Dogtooth Poncho. This stylish layering piece is knitted in Italy by skilled craftsmen, ensuring lasting quality for this season and beyond.
Pair this beautiful piece with our Satin Printed Blouse, a classic style formed in a modern, floral pattern fabric. Sticking with the grey, our Classic Trousers, made in a grey Melange wool blend cloth, are effortlessly stylish.
Style tip: No festive party look is complete without accessories that bring a little sparkle and shine. Opt for our Long-Beaded Necklace, beautifully harmonising each item of clothing. In addition, choose our white crystal Sparkly Earrings, handmade for us in Italy and finished with soft rubber cushions in the clip fasteners. Finally, our Mock Croc Belt is the perfect finishing piece for a wide variety of looks throughout each season.
We truly hope you find inspiration throughout our new collection and that Cotswold Collections can continue to provide classic, elegant women's clothing that lasts a lifetime.
