How to Wear Plaid

Are you caught in the rutt of wearing the same thing the same way all of the time?  I challenge you to pick one piece – make it a plaid piece if you have one (for the sake of this post)- and try mixing it with something different and/or try wearing it in a different way.  Change up how you wear your plaid button down, skirt or dress and how you tie your scarves, etc.  Here are some outfits that may inspire you!!!

Wrapping a plaid scarf around a blazer adds interest and style to this skinny jeans, blazer and pumps outfit…

Wear your flannel button down with a hip-length cardigan and gold jewelry.

 Layer your flannel button down over a camisole (lace detail is a nice feminine touch) and wear a casual utility style jacket or denim jacket over it with the flannel cuffs rolled up and over.

Wrap a plaid flannel button down around a casual sweater dress slightly off center.

Unbutton your plaid dress and wear it as a jacket over a t-shirt, rolled up jeans and open-toe wedge booties.

Wear a classic plaid skirt with a solid turtleneck and super-chic over-knee boots.

Plaid button down over leather leggings, strappy heels with a classic bag.

Wear head to toe black and belt a plaid shawl around your waist.

Mix a classic plaid pencil skirt with a t-shirt, chunky jewelry and suede wedge booties. (Then throw your leather jacket over it.)

Can’t do wrong following Olivia Palermo’s lead…plaid shift with thigh high suede boots and classic clutch. Perfect mix of classic with trendy!

Have some fun mixing up your plaid pieces.  You will be amazed how many new outfits you can put together!!
