The drawing is in demand for the Provence style, as well as in the country style. If the squares formed by the intersection of the stripes are large, the most popular color for this version of "vichy" is black and white. The colored version of such a cell is usually formed by small squares. This check print goes well with plain pastel fabrics, lace and jeans. For example, complementing a similar plaid clog dress and a denim jacket, you will get a successful summer country look, and by wearing stiletto heels to a cotton dress with a Vichy cage and picking up a clutch, you can create a good evening outfit.
