How to Wear: Classic Plaid Shirt

We all know that a white button-down shirt is a classic wardrobe staple. But don’t overlook its more casual cousin, a colorful plaid shirt!

Tips for wearing a plaid shirt:

  • Flannel is super cozy, but don’t overlook a cool, crisp cotton version for a more polished casual look.
  • Its not your husband’s skirt. Pass up a baggy version for one that is tailered for a more feminine look.
  • Tuck your plaid shirt into your jeans and pair with platforms or boots. Save the hiking boots for camping.
  • Pair your plaid with a blazer or a chunky knit – the contrast in textures is fabulous!
