What Is a Checkerboard Pattern?
Also known as a “checkered pattern” or simply “checks,” a checkerboard pattern is a black and white graphic resembling a checkerboard that often adorns articles of clothing, particularly footwear, handbags, and smaller accessories such as wristbands, pins, and wallets. The checkerboard pattern has made its way in and out of fashion over the last three decades, and has been adopted by certain genres of music. In addition to music and fashion, the checkered pattern is also associated with certain genres of art, literature, and items in popular culture.
