Perfect Plaids

Tantalizing tartans for… Spring? You read correctly, darlings: these tantalizing tartans are straight off the SS ’10 runways! Another trend goes yearlong, it seems. And CC couldn’t be more pleased with these plaids!

  27. I love plaids, but I think it's difficult to wear it in a fashion way. People do look very preppy or alternative sometimes..

  65. What a surprise: the adorably costumey blue plaid number from Anna Sui is the one that makes me feel like I NEED to wear this stuff, right this minute! I think she embeds subliminal messages in her clothes.

  67. I love casual plaid with a pair of great denim shorts and chic sunglasses. Like Daisy Duke, but modern and classy. Love it!

  68. It looks like Lady Gaga's influence is being felt on runways around the world. The fairly formal plaid no-pants suit by Margaret Howel (nym) looks great. Thank you Lady Gaga!
