Seeker said...

I think plaid is one of the prints that I'm most comfortable with and we can get different styles with it.

So cool, great picks, my dear.

erika sorocco said...

Due to the fact that I have yet to find any plaid that truly suits me, I'm loving DSquared2's use of tartan - just a pop about the collar via the scarf. Though I must admit, I wouldn't mind calling that DKNY bit or PPQ piece my own! :)

Keith said...

These are great. I love plaid. I definitely will be wearing some this fall/winter. I had a pair of plaid shorts I wore a lot this summer.

Jennifer Fabulous said...

This is such a great look. I love plaid.

I should have kept all of my shirts from my early-90s grunge phase :-)!!

Angela said...

I am beginning to see mor merits for plaids. yah...

Averill said...

I adore plaid, but maybe it's because I still have a soft spot for 90s grunge.

I love plaid, and I am hereby reminded, with profound regret, of the floor length bias cut plaid skirt with train by J. Crew that I did NOT buy for a holiday party years ago. Sigh.

I am definitely mad for plaid. I remember when I was a kid looking through books of tartan! Love that black and white long wool dress. I'd love a pair of plaid tights or a great pump for fall.
