The age of the millennials has us hooked, booked and cooked. The idea of off-duty chic for the on-the-go woman who wants minimal fuss is to get ready quickly with simple separates in luxurious fabrics. The checkerboard printed style rings in a sophisticated vibe.Checkered chicness got a double millennial update from Ananya Panday and Alaya Furniturewalla. While Alaya's separates were tad playful but carefully curated, Ananya's separates were crisp and neatly styled. Ananya finds her style conspirators in Ami Patel and Sanjay Kumar. Alaya seeked out the styling precision of Sanam Ratansi for this look. While Ananya dabbles with classic and experimental style with easy panache, Alaya's experimental streak and a gusto to do things distinctly is an instant charmer. Ananaya attended a summit in Bangalore wearing these chic separates while Alaya promoted Jawani Janeman wearing hers.

Comfort is key to attaining chicness like Ananya or Alaya. Here's how the millennials styled the humble checkered print.
