Go Mad for Plaid

Plaid prints may conjure memories of your Catholic school girl days, when you were raising eyebrows by rolling over the tops of your tartan skirts. Or, if you are a product of the public school system, plaid may take you back to the heyday of Seattle grunge, when you were ransacking your grandfather’s closet for his old Carhartt shirts you could rip the sleeves off of.

Wipe all this from your mind.

2010’s plaid is sharp and sexy and all grown up. It’s also one of the season’s hottest unisex trends, popping up in virtually every men’s and women’s collection this fall.

Why do we love it? In its 21st Century incarnation, plaid is made over in tailored, flirty dresses and funky pants, not to mention almost every piece of outerwear from caps to capes to belted coats. This classic pattern is turned on its head, and the playful new perspective makes it totally modern.
