Holly Willoughby looked chic in a stylish pencil skirt featuring a black and white gingham pattern for her appearance on This Morning today (9 March).

The ITV presenter paired the check skirt with a relaxed fit white shirt and a narrow black belt to cinch in her waist. A pair of classic black stiletto court shoe heels complete the look.

Ginghams prints have been popping up in the new release collections of a range of brands as spring lines begin to hit the shelves for the new season.
