STYLE GURU STYLE: Mad about Plaid

Plaid is the essential style trend that we all find ourselves gravitating toward this time of year. We can find it in anything from scarves, flannels, pants and accessories. It’s a trend that never seems to go out of style. There isn’t just one type either; you can always find a mixture of colors to create your perfect plaid to go with any outfit.

For my look, I decided to sport a plaid scarf. I took this cream color plaid scarf with accents of red, green and blue in it, and paired it with a dark grey mock neck top. Then, I added a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and little brown chelsea boots. To complete the look I added a tan peacoat. With these simple pieces the plaid scarf is able to stand out and be the featured part of the look. For my makeup I kept it rather simple and left my new short hair natural. During the winter, I love to go lighter with my makeup letting one thing stand out the most like brows or a bold lip.

A plaid scarf can be added to any outfit to dress it up or dress it down. With finals week approaching, this look is something that still makes you look put together but still comfortable for all those hours of studying you have. It keeps you warm and bundled up and gives you that perfect winter look as we are approaching the holiday season.

You could always change up the look if you wear going out by adding some cute heels instead of the boots or dress it down and add some sneakers.
