Plaids are always somewhat in fashion, but that have been a growing trend since two years. The biggest difference in the new plaid compared to the '90s is that the plaid pieces are more fitting and structured. The rule goes even for button-up tunics and shirt dresses over skinnies and leggings.
So how does one best wear plaids?
For me, I like plaids as accessories and accents in varieties of the classic red and green so I limit the wear of them to Christmas season. I generally combine it with jeans, boots or leather jackets to dress down the strength of the plaid pattern. How about you?
So how does one best wear plaids?
- Limit the number of plaids in the outfit to one. Hardly anyone can get away with wearing two plaid pieces at a time.
- Match the second piece to the dominant shade in the plaid or simply stick to neutrals.
- Make sure the fit is perfect. The loose plaid shirt or dress look is old fashioned.
- Mix it with rugged accessories like studded bracelets and riding boots.
