Welcome back to Fashion Friday and our four part series on fall’s latest fashion trends.
Last week we discussed the glorious resurgence of NAVY!
Today, we discuss the trend there is NO WAY you have missed: PLAID!
Plaid, plaid, everywhere is plaid.
Now I wouldn’t typically fall for this lumberjack look, but it’s being incorporated in interesting ways and interesting colors so it feels less “lumberjack-y.”
If you have bought any fall clothing, you got assaulted with plaid.
I’ve not seen such a universal trend since the attack of the prairie dresses during COVID (and they linger still…).
How can you incorporate it into your fall look?
Well, if you’re not nuts about the trend, try something small like this cute boot from DSW or a little accessory (and do you see all the plaid incorporating navy?!?!):


If you’re willing to go bolder, I just picked up this wonderfully vibrant plaid wrap for a steal at LOFT (and not only does it incorporate the plaid trend, it also incorporates the navy and wrap trends!). I’ve got a girls weekend to the wine country in a few weeks and thought this would be a fun addition:

My best friend nabbed this adorable plaid jacket from Target and makes the typical lumberjack ensemble look feminine because of colors and styling. And also, she’s gorgeous which helps (my daughter announced from the back seat when Kristin was in for the icepocalypse, “sorry mom, but she looks like she’s in her 20s”):

I’m also exercising all my self-restraint not to pick up this Hutton blazer from Ann Taylor – I love this look so much! Making plaid professional and pretty:

Are you wearing plaid? How are you incorporating it into your fall wardrobe (which is super hard in Houston this week at 90 degrees!)? Any guesses as to next week’s trend? A hint – roar…
