Perfect Plaid Looks for Every Style Personality

Plaid season is officially here. Whether your look is chic or relaxed, this fall-friendly print is always in style and more versatile than you ever imagined. We picked our favorite plaid pieces and styled three very distinct outfits, with options that are sure to float your boat no matter your style personality. Check out this season’s must-have plaid looks, plus our tips and tricks for making them all your own.

Evening Edgy

Key Plaid Piece: A button-down

Choosing a Color: Earn extra style points for a relaxed fit in a deep, jewel-tone shade.

Style Vibe: A little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.

Make It Your Own: Take your favorite plaid-print top or a classic flannel, add an always-cool moto jacket, and complete the fiercest night-out look ever with frayed black denim and a pair of pointed-toe heels.

Office Classic

Key Plaid Piece: Leggings 

Choosing a Color: For an understated take on this look, pick a neutral-colored plaid.

Style Vibe: Chic with an extra pinch of personality.

Make It Your Own: Add depth to this workday outfit with a textured blazer. A shirt with modern architectural details—a tied waist, asymmetrical hemline, or trumpet sleeves—elevates this ensemble to new heights, even if you opt for flats. (We suggest a velvet loafer.)

Weekend Casual

Key Plaid Piece: A bomber 

Choosing a Color: Fall’s most classic print is always on-trend in a rich, red hue.

Style Vibe: Cozy and sporty, with all the right touches.

Make It Your Own: Feel incredibly on-trend, without looking like you tried. Pair this subtly retro jacket style with a distressed tee or sweater, knit scarf, white sneakers, and playful patchwork-dyed denim for a laid-back look that is very “now.”
