Plaid is fabric with horizontal and vertical stripes, there are various types of; tartan, gingham, tattersall, madras check, shepherds check, houndstooth, buffalo check, etc
Plaid is a classic and traditional fabric and has been modernized and was evident at the fall 2013 runways of Stella McCartney, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Tommy Hilfiger and Celine. It looks absolutely sophisticated when worn right.
Here are some ways to rock the trend:
1. As a camisole: The thing about plaid is since it’s a less is more. On a monochrome outfit you can always gear up your look by adding plaid to it.
2. Shoes: For a monochrome outfit, skip plain shoes, try plaid instead. Plaid is the easiest way to liven up your outfit.
3. As a blazer: Plaid looks incredible as a blazer, it frames your outfit in a modern and stylish manner. A plaid blazer in any colour will always go with a white dress shirt and black jeans.
4. As office-wear: The plaid mini can look like a stripper porn star outfit if it’s not styled well. Try a plaid pencil skirt for the office.
5. As nail polish: Over weekend while getting a manicure, try something different, try a plaid manicure, its different and very fun.
6. Sheer clothing: if you are feeling very bold, try wearing a plaid bra over a sheer top and then a blazer, so it doesn’t end up looking trashy.
7. As a dress : In wearing plaid as a dress, also be minimal, match the dress with a neutral black or the most evident colour on the plaid dress.
8. Plaid on plaid: Who says you can’t wear print on print? You so can, you can match your plaid with another plaid, ONLY if they have similar colors.
9. Plaid on other patterns: You can match your plaid blouse with a black and white polka dotted scarf or a polka dotted skirt and a thin plaid belt. To ace the mixing of prints, ensure your shoes and bag match colours of the print.
10. Jewelry: As less is more for plaid, minimal jewelry is the best bet. You can also match your jewelry to your plaid attire to minimize the variety of colors.
