How to Wear Windowpane Print With 16 Menswear-Inspired Pieces

If you love being in sync with all the latest fashion trends, then it’s probably about time that you meet the menswear-inspired motif of the season. Whether you refer to it as windowpane, classic grid or uniformed checks — there are endless ways to rock this perfect-for-summer print. Here are 16 awesomely minimalist investment pieces (and budget buys!) to get you started!

1. Boxy Grid Shirt ($12): Sometimes you just have to let your hair down and try a boxy top on for size. We’re loving how it looks when styled with a neon skirt.

2. Faux Leather Grid Shorts ($33): These faux leather grid shorts have high-fashion appeal without the jarring price point. And they’re f-i-e-r-c-e.

3. Grid Print Skater Dress ($41): You can’t go wrong with the always flattering fit-and-flare silhouette. No surprise, we’re smitten with this grid print dress — it’s both sweet and sophisticated at the same time.

4. Bow Check Shirt ($40): Be prim and polished for the office in a monochrome tie-neck blouse.

5. Windowpane Pelmet Skirt ($70): Night out on the town — no problem! This edgy windowpane skirt was made to be paired with a black blazer and ankle booties.

6. Check Ponte Dress ($50): Super minimalist and mod, where have you been all our lives? With large checks and the coolest cutout back detail (seriously, check it out!), how can you consider moving forward without it?

7. Argelia Grid Playsuit With Peter Pan Collar in White ($42): Never have we been so excited to don a playsuit before. This one, complete with a Peter Pan collar and bold grid print, is downright cheeky.

8. Florete Pump ($350): No need to rock head-to-toe windowpane when you can slip into these graphic pointy-toe pumps for a little pop of pattern.

9. Windowpane Check Skort ($68): This windowpane skort is proof that this ‘90s fashion staple is indeed back and better than ever! Pair it with a slouchy sweater or a simple black v-neck.

10. Glamorous Print Jumpsuit ($58): The only thing better than a maxi dress is a totally glam windowpane jumpsuit. Go the extra mile with this show-stoppin’ number.

11. Merino Wool Sweater ($275): Oh-so-perfect for those chilly summer nights, say hello to the quintessential printed pullover that you’ll never want to leave your side.

12. Oversized Grid Print Blazer ($69): Move over floral, there’s a new print in town! For your next boardroom meeting, style this black grid print blazer with a sleek pencil skirt and let the compliments roll in.

13. Stretch Cotton Ankle Trousers ($72): When your fave black trousers lose their luster, rest assured that these crisp ankle pants will steal the show.

14. Oversized Grid Check Tee ($29): From the runway to the streets, a slouchy and oversized tee is as effortless as they come.

15. Reese Streamline Grid Print ($258): While this button-down shirt errs on the splurge-worthy side, trust us… it’s worth it. For a streamlined, you-mean-business look, it doesn’t get more on-point than this.

16. Amy Blouse ($54): Just when you thought windowpane was solely of the black-and-white variety, this darling navy option makes an appearance. Again, you gotta love the Peter Pan collar…

I love (and I mean LOVE) Colin and Penelope's relationship on Bridgerton. Their friendship provides a wonderful foundation for a romantic relationship because they just know each other so dang well (another reason friends-to-lovers is my favorite trope!!). But as convincing as actors Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton are onscreen, that does not mean they're romantically involved in real life.

The internet went crazy when Luke Newton debuted a girlfriend in London this June, and Nicola Coughlan showed up to the All Points East festival in London with her rumored boyfriend on August 24, 2024! And at the beginning of 2025, they finally went Instagram official.

Here's everything you need to know about Nicola Coughlan & Jake Dunn (who Nicola looks very happy with, by the way).

Nicola Coughlan & Jake Dunn go Instagram official.

Nicola Coughlan/Instagram

For Jake Dunn's 25th birthday on February 11, Nicola posted a sweet photo of him to her Instagram stories, telling her new BF "Happy Birthday" with a red heart emoji.

Who is Nicola Coughlan's boyfriend?

Nicola Coughlan's BF is British film producer, and Renegade Nell star, Jake Dunn. You can also see him inThe Bastard Son & the DevilHimself, Big Boys, and Rebel Cheer Squad: A Get Even Series.

Elle reports that the pair was first spotted together when another Renegade Nell star posted them in a March 2024 Instagram story, and Coughlan also attended the Renegade Nell premiere! The duo was also seen playing a game of Scrabble in a London pub on July 20!

Coughlan and Dunn were spotted at London's All Points East festival on August 24, with plenty of PDA to boot. Nicola wore a white peasant dress and black bucket hat, while Jake complemented her outfit with a white tank and button down and black jeans. I'm not saying this is the perfect couple's outfit...but I'm not not saying that, either.

How old is Jake Dunn?

Jake Dunn is 25 years old, and recently graduated from the drama department at Guildhall School. And, unfortunately, some of the comments on about his and Nicola Coughlan's romance do NOT pass the vibe check. (Like making Teen Mom jokes). But plenty of the actress' fans came to her defense.

"Oh PLEASE, men do it all the time," one comment on Deuxmoi's post reads, while another agrees, "I love how people act so shocked when a woman dates a younger man but it’s like sooooo normal when older guys date younger women, like where’s the same energy?"

The whole conversation really shines a light on the double standard placed on women in the dating scene. It feels like no one bats an eye when a man dates a woman younger than him, but as soon as a woman dates a man younger than her, people treat it like a scandal — and not the kind Lady Whistledown would approve of.

When it comes to inexpensive wine, Trader Joe’s selection truly reigns supreme. If you’re in the market for a good, soothingsip, but don’t know what to try first, I consulted three separate Reddit threadspacked with the best Trader Joe’sshopper recommendations.

Fromfavorite winesto more budget-friendly options, TJ’s bottles easily measure up to gourmet wines – all without the big price tag.

Scroll on for the 8 best Trader Joe's wines (all under $8!) recommended by wine-loving shoppers.

Trader Joe's

Maison Barboulot Cabernet Syrah

This red blend has the heart of one Redditor that noted it "drinks WAY more expensive than its $6.99 price tag. It’s a forever favorite for me. When I serve it at a dinner party, people always ask what it is.”

TJ's says each sip of this red wine is "smooth and fruity" and contains "approachable" notes of cherry and vanilla.

Trader Joe's

Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon

Oftentimes, $5 bottles of wine tend to disappoint. Not this one from Charles Shaw, though! It was mentioned as a favorite several times on the Trader Joe's Reddit for its impressively full flavors. With notes of blackberry and vanilla, it pairs really well with grilled steak, lamb, or even rich, cheesy pasta dishes.

Trader Joe's

Moon X Pinot Noir

This $7 was another frequently-mentioned pick. One Redditor noted that “it is easy drinking, a crowd pleaser, but not boring, and a great value." Per Trader Joe's, it carries a "bold plummy profile," plus notes of vanilla, oak, dark fruit, and warm spice.

Trader Joe's

Picton Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Hailing from a family-owned-and-operated winery, you'll instantly detect the love and care goes into making this $8 bottle upon first sip. Trader Joe's compares its punchy and crisp finish to that of a Granny Smith apple; one Reddit user agreed and said it's simply "very nice."

Trader Joe's

La Ferme Julien Rosé

For a “nice summer sipper,” you've gotta consult this fresh $7 rosé that also boasts an adorable illustration of a goat on the label. So cute!

Trader Joe's

Honey Moon Viognier

One Reddit user said that they enjoy this $6 wine because it's "medium-sweet and very flavorful.”

The "crisp, floral, phenomenally fruity" varietal white has plenty of fruity notes, which TJ's says pairs naturally with cheeses like brie, Manchego, and blue cheese.

Trader Joe's

Espiral Vinho Verde

The Vinho Verde region of northern Portugal is known for its sweet, fruity wines like this $5 option. It contains some delightful notes of green apple and melon, so it would make a great summer sipper.

One Redditor said that the “price point is unbelievable for how good it is IMO.” Now we've gotta try!

Trader Joe's

Charles Shaw Pinot Grigio

This $4 number is another cheap Trader Joe's wine you wouldn't expect to be so good. It's got notes of lemon zest, white peach, and. almond, all balanced by a "lively acidity" that levels out each sip.

One Redditor shared a tasty hack for this wine in particular: "Since its on the lighter side, I always had a few raspberries that I eat at the end of the glass or slices of jalapeño if I'm feeling spicy.”
