Plaid Fads

Traditionally a trend for the fall, it’s safe to say that plaid isn’t going out of style anytime soon. This season you should look for plaid in dresses, mini skirts, jackets, coats, trousers, and even tights.For exuberant personality types, unleash your inner boldness with a bright, bold plaid with cheerful, primary colors like sunshine-yellow, orange, cobalt blue, red, purple, fuchsia and grass-green. If you’re a little more conservative, opt for darker hues like mustard, rust, navy, crimson, wine, forest-green, or sage.You don’t want to look like a giant walking kilt, and the only way to fashionably rock plaid is to isolate the criss-crossed fabric to one part of the ensemble. For big-ticket items like dresses, suits, jackets and coats, make sure to choose the right size plaid pattern for your height: taller women can get away with larger, graphic plaids, while more petite ladies should scale it down with a smaller print.
