Double the fun with double the plaid. Go for patterns of different sizes in similar hues, and add contrast through your accessories. Earthy browns work beautifully with calming blues.
Get more bang for your buck with a set that can be worn together or separately. Break it up with a belt and a pop of colour in your bag.
Not ready to commit to full plaid? Test the waters with an accessory first, like a patterned scarf around your neck or tied to your bag.
Gingham capris with a frilled hem, worn with a scoop-neck frilled top and a crisp cotton shirt, gives preppy spring-picnic vibes. A backless loafer keeps the look easy-breezy.
A dark plaid shirt is the perfect anchor for a floaty summery dress. Wear it open or tied around your waist.
Carry the trend into your corporate life with an office-appropriate version of the plaid shirt. Add interest by throwing a second one over your shoulders, tied at the front like a jumper. A midi skirt and heels keep it grown up.
A tattersall-check trench can be your whole look. Add an element of surprise with a patterned scarf in a different colour around the waist.
Embrace your inner Kurt Cobain (or Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis IYKYK) and go full grunge with a shirt layered under a handkerchief dress.
DIY your look by buttoning two plaid shirts into one skirt. Pair with a baby tee and thong sandals for a simple yet effective look.
Plaid can be for evenings, too. Add sparkle with diamantes and a silver clutch bag, pop on slinky heels and a blazer, and you’re good to go.
