Seasonal tartans ruled the fall runways, from the austere at Celine to anarchic at Moschino. No manner of garment was safe from this conquering trend, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Punk, school-girl, or ladylike, we’re mad for the season’s plaid.
Plaid frocks might be the pick of the holiday party season. For work, try a monochrome pencil dress (great for that office to office party transition). Have a girl’s night out on the horizon? A bold hued mini is a funky stand-out piece. For that family function, we recommend a full skirted A-line in a classic red or green palette, straddling the line between daring and retro.
With layers a must, why not top off your favorite fall looks with a plaid coat or jacket? A preppy blazer is always in style, but the can’t-miss toppers of the season are oversized, and plaid coats of the driving, trench, and blanket varieties. These are snuggly and statement making, perfect for making a grand entrance.
