STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Powerful Plaid

The power of plaid is strong for any season. Fashionistas/os are mad for plaid this season, which has been seen everywhere, from the runway to the streets. Whether your plaid is bright and colorful or neutral and minimal, there is a way to incorporate plaid into any outfit for any occasion.

The idea of plaid may scare some into thinking, “How can I pull this look off without looking like a lumberjack?” The answer is simple. You can style plaid in a variety of ways: feminine, vibrant, grunge and much more. Plaid comes in a variety of forms and mixes well with other trends such as leggings and/or military boots. If you still feel too masculine, incorporate feminine pieces into your outfit such as earrings, a chic tote or a pair of pumps for a night out. If you are still concerned about your look, a subtle plaid accessory, such as a scarf, can liven up any outfit.
