Mad About Plaid

I have to say, I’m a big fan of plaid, probably because it was one of my school colors in undergrad (no joke). Throughout all of undergrad I would try and find ways to work it into outfits for school events. I thought I had started to move away from it since graduating, but as I was walking around Forever 21 last weekend, I realized I hadn’t at all (it was actually kind of a relief).

I realized that plaid is back in style and I’m mad about plaid!

I love how brands are incorporating it into pieces this year, from shoes to purses. It’ll be fun to start adding touches of plaid into my outfits again!

But the trick is to not over do it.

Even if you’re mad about plaid like me, you have to be careful. The trick is to pick one piece and then build your outfit around that. Instead of going crazy and pairing different plaid prints together, you’ll want to keep the rest of your outfit fairly neutral.

My favorite way to do this is to pick a neutral color from the plaid (a black, tan, navy, or white), and dress the rest of your outfit around that. Keep it simple with accessories. After all, your plaid is your accessory!

Personally, I LOVE wearing plaid shoes with my outfits. I will pull together fairly simple outfits and then put on a pair of plaid flats to tie the whole outfit together. I love how much fun it can make the outfit and it really brings my outfit up a notch. If you haven’t considered adding a pair of plaid flats to your wardrobe, you really need to try it out!

Are you into plaid? How do you like to wear it?
