The chilly wind of autumn, feels kind of depressing. You just wished your coats would stay in the closet a little while longer.
But there are ways to accept: hanging on your couch reading a book while dring hot tea, going to the movies since outside is just rainy, chatting with friends while enjoying red white wine in a bar (yes red is not for summer when it comes to me), the come-back of soft sweaters … whatever cosy actually.
And what looks cosier than plaid (or look alikes, like prince de galles) print?
I am the delighted owner of two plaid printed items: a coat that I just adore, a fluid tee shirt as well as a scarf, that well, I just must not have bought, since I saw it on half girls in town. That is now a reminder of why to prevent buying fast-fashion the most I can. (This is likewise a reminder).
If you own some plaid items or mean to purchase some, right here are my technique to discover the good ones as well as to wear them stylishly.
I. exactly how to select your plaid print?
The crucial word is subtility. Clumsy plaid print will always make you look cheap.
Especially if you see a big amount of it.
Therefore the material is crucial as well.
Plaid doesn’t print on polyester. Period.
II. exactly how much plaid?
Obviously, you can either go for just an accessory or for something bigger.
Note that the plaid tends to set the focus where you wear it. So select according to your figure.

This skater shape looks truly youthful as well as “school girl”. Which can be pretty, however only if you are extremely young.
If you want to wear it in a a lot more grown up manner, go for basic straight shapes without flourish.

The plaid print likewise has a retro feel to it. Therefore, if you do not want to look old fashioned, I rceommend you opt for contemporary cuts.

Or on your shoulders
Mango as well as salt
III. What colors/ prints shall I wear it with?

Plaid truly makes a statement in your outfit.
Therefore, if you went for a major plaid item like pants, you can stick to one colors for the rest of the outfit.
If you go for dark neutrals like black or navy, you can’t go wrong.

Style scrapbook
– With jeans
Jeans as well as plaid print are the best combo for a cosy yet original look.

– With other plaid prints
Isabel Marant
– With leopard print
They both have this cosy autumnal feel, I assumption that is why they look fantastic together.

My preferred combo? The plaid with plumetis tights. I do it all the times.
It look kind of baroque as well as preppy.

As I explained in my “how to mix print” entry, prints mix always mix when they have the exact same color.
So have fun!
