Eleven Great Plaid Items To Wear This Season
You know I love a good trend but at the end of the day, I want my money to go as far as possible. Who wants to wear something one time and then have it go out of style? If you’re looking for a timeless and versatile print, you can’t go wrong with plaid! Plaid pieces, whether it’s a classic plaid shirt, scarf, or jacket, instantly add interest and a touch of sophistication to an outfit. Not sure what to wear? No worries because today, I’m sharing some great plaid items to wear this season.
We all know that plaid never goes out of style—whether it’s casual days or something a bit more polished, it’s the perfect way to add a little twist to your wardrobe. From cozy sweaters to versatile accessories, these plaid picks are must-haves this season. Let’s dive into some of my favorites!
Why Is Plaid A Good Fashion Choice?
Plaid is such a great choice because it never really goes out of style! Whether it’s a classic tartan, buffalo check, or a sweet gingham, there are many options and colors to fit your vibe. Plaid is perfect for those cozy fall and winter days when you want to feel festive and put together without much effort.
You can dress it up or down, mix it with solids, or even have fun combining it with other patterns. I love that many plaid pieces are made from soft, warm fabrics like flannel, which means they’re not only stylish but super comfy, too! Trust me, plaid is one of those patterns that just works for every season and every age.
This plaid shacket is perfect for fall. It’s a great combo of a shirt and a jacket, making it ideal for layering on those crisp mornings. You can wear it over a simple tee with jeans for an effortlessly cute outfit, or pair it with boots and a chunky scarf to complete that cozy, casual vibe. I love how this one has a slightly oversized fit, making it great for moving around while looking stylish. Plus, the neutral color scheme means it’ll match anything in your wardrobe. Look how nice it looks with these leggings! Very chic.
Okay, please imagine this with leggings or some very thick tights and boots. I know it’s a bit short, but It’s so cute and eye-catching. Plus, it’s got that classic plaid print that never fails to look stylish. You can wear ankle boots for a complete fall ensemble or throw on a denim jacket for a laid-back look. I can picture wearing this to brunch or just out shopping. And the best part? It’s super comfy with its lightweight fabric, so you don’t feel restricted at all.
Gurls, if there’s one accessory you need this season, it’s a plaid scarf! It’s the easiest way to add a pop of plaid to any outfit without going overboard. Drape it over your coat or cardigan, or even wrap it around a simple sweater to add a touch of style. This scarf is super soft and cozy, making it a great staple for those cooler days. I love that it can take a basic wardrobe and turn it into something polished and put-together. There are lots of other color combinations at the link, so find exactly what fits your style.
This cardigan vest is a versatile layering piece that gives any outfit a bit of an edge. I can see myself wearing this over a fitted turtleneck with some cute jeans or even pairing it with a long-sleeve tee on warmer days. The longline cut is super flattering, and it adds a little length, which I love. It’s perfect for those days when you want to look put together without much effort—because who has time for that, lol? SO many cute colors in addition to the classic black and white.
A Great Plaid Coat From Ann Taylor
You know I love a good coat, and this plaid one is giving me all the feels! It’s the perfect winter coat with a slightly fitted shape that keeps you looking chic. It’s got a neutral color palette, so it’s easy to pair with trousers, jeans, or even skirts. The plaid print adds a touch of sophistication, and the buttons make it feel really polished. I’ve never been unhappy with anything from Ann Taylor.
Great Plaid Items From Macy’s
I love this cozy crewneck sweater in a bold plaid print! It’s just the right mix of casual and stylish, and it’s so soft to the touch. This one would be perfect with your favorite pair of jeans or even with some leather leggings for a bit of edge. You could also layer it over a collared shirt for a polished look that’s still super comfy. It also comes in a bright red. Either would be great for the holidays. It does seem a bit fitted so if you like things roomier, size up.
Okay, Gurls, I’m obsessed with this plaid crossbody purse! It’s small but mighty and adds the cutest pop of plaid to any outfit. The Saffiano leather makes it durable, and the plaid detailing is subtle yet stylish. You can wear this with casual looks or dress it up a little for a night out. I can totally picture myself using this on a day out with the grandkids—it’s just the right size for keeping my essentials close!
A Great Plaid Ruana from Talbots
This red plaid ruana is so striking and festive! It’s perfect for the holiday season or whenever you want to add a pop of color to your look. I’d throw it over a fitted sweater with some jeans or wear it over a little black dress for a fancier occasion. It’s easy to wear and adds that extra layer of warmth, which is so needed this time of year. Plus, it’s super lightweight, so it doesn’t feel bulky. If you want to be more subtle, there’s a nice black and white available as well.
Finally, we’ve got this great long plaid shirt that’s perfect for layering. It’s got that relaxed street style vibe, and it’s long enough to wear with leggings or skinny jeans. I love how easy it is to just throw on and go—plus, the button-down style makes it versatile for different looks. You could even wear it as a shirt dress with a belt for a more polished feel. I’d totally wear this one out shopping or just hanging out with Joe!
