Yes, Burberry is officially back.
Okay, so we all knew this moment was coming. After all, during the past few seasons of London Fashion Week there has been no missing the old-school print making a reappearance on catwalk. Former creative director, Christopher Bailey, even put an eye-catching rainbow spin on the plaid for his final collection, you know, just in case you had missed the memo.
But, to be honest, we didn't quite believe it would catch on. That is, until now.
Shedding all ties to its old 'tacky' status, Burberry's signature brown check, which dates back to the 1960s, is now, once again, at the forefront of fashion.
At Copenhagen Fashion Week the fash pack couldn't get enough of the print and hypebeasts have continually been flooding the 'gram with ensembles featuring lashings of the check - a sight that in previous years would have made any style fan shudder.

Head-to-toe Burberry is probably not your immediate choice, but it's currently a celeb favourite.
Beyoncé recently slayed a full Burberry look on the On the Run II world tour, which was custom made by the brand's new creative director, Riccardo Tisci. The unmissable ensemble came complete with gloves, a hooded cropped jacket and a Burberry checked Bey-suit.
Nicki Minaj then quickly followed Queen B's lead, stepping out in New York wearing coordinating checked trousers, crop top, jacket and baseball cap.
If two Queens can do it, you can too.
2. Boss A Burberry Shirt To Work
If you're searching for a sleek and sophisticated way to don the check investing in a Burberry shirt is the way to go.
Whether you wear it with a sleek midi skirt for work, throw it on with a pair of mom jeans at the weekend, or layer it over a tee for a casual day look - there are numerous ways to style the versatile number.
There are several new-in vintage oversized styles available on the site at the moment. Or, you could take note from Dutch fashion journalist Stephanie Broek and just borrow your boyfriend's.
