Less is Just Right

Plaid can look amazingly stylish provided you don’t overdo it with excessive plaid pieces. Decide on one piece of plaid - maybe shoes, scarf, a headband or oh! Trendy plaid shoes. Style your outfit around them, mixing and matching for any type of personality you want to boast ! The chic lady, trendy go-getter or the hippie chick! Don’t be predictable with only a plaid shirt, that’s boring! Plaid pants are just fun-tastic! Throw on a sexy jacket on a turtleneck or V-neck sweater as structure is needed to contrast the billowy plaid pants, or alternatively, the cool factor is bold against the plaid skinny jeans. Patterned pants are one of my favorite ways to wear plaid!

Work Trendy

Plaid shirts can be very dressy for the office, when you know how to work fashionable items into the mix to class it up. Radiate sophistication in a fitted plaid shirt tucked into a sleek pencil skirt or well-tailored trouser pant. Now polish off your look with a formal hairstyle like a high bun, French twist or free waves. Metallics, preferably gold shoes and a narrow gold belt for brighter plaid, but you can choose silver or other shiny colors to tie your look together. Many fashionistas have the right idea to use darker plaid as a pencil skirt or blazer jacket for an official look.

A brighter green nuance for your bangles or shoes, or maybe even an eye-catching necklace infuses vibrancy into the plaid’s muted color.

Wrap around

The number one favorite way to wear a plaid shirt is to wrap it around the waist. Go for the grungy style with all black attire and adorn yourself with edgy trinkets like spikes and leather. The summer casual attire is also very popular; a flannel shirt tied around the waist paired with a bralet top and short jeans. It’s what the youngsters call it the beach look!
