Mad for Plaid

From suiting separates to outerwear to accessories, plaid is an easy way to add a layer of interest to your winter looks. Here’s a breakdown from Fashion Fabrics Club of five effortless pieces you’ll want to add to your wardrobe right now.

Houndstooth Plaid Jacket

Rocking the plaid trend doesn’t mean you have to stick to the traditional tartan pattern, there’s a whole host of color and design variations to choose from. For example: this houndstooth plaid overcoat plays into the plaid trend in a sophisticated, polished way, adding a hit of texture and visual interest with its black-and-white color scheme and striking pattern play.

Plaid Cigarette Pants

Here’s a look that can really go the distance, perfect for the 9-to-5 hustle and the weekend. The focal point is the cigarette pants in plaid suiting, paired with neutral extras to keep things from getting too busy.

Plaid Flannel

A plaid flannel button up peeking out from under a top layer instantly takes your look to the next level. Here, the otherwise plain outfit of a sweater and jeans turns into an eye-catching ensemble with the simple addition of the button up.

Buffalo Check Vest

Having an easy toss on in the mix makes it easy to get out the door in a time squeeze. Cue the plaid buffalo check vest. Both chic and functional, it makes casual weekend looks feel more put together while giving you an added layer of warmth.

Plaid Blanket Scarf

An oversized fuzzy plaid scarf is the ultimate winter accessory. It takes casual sweaters and jeans to a more interesting place and can even double as a blanket in a pinch.
