The chequerboard original denotes an unmistakably new-wave style, one that has been put Sometimes non-standard due to the ringer by various not-very-fondly remembered musical revivals: as opposed to of pork-pie-hat fabulousness, the look is these days associated numberless with minor members of No Doubt or nu metal singers from the mid-noughties.
