Cher Horowitz approved plaid has taken over this season
Whether you prefer wearing it from head to toe or approaching cautiously with one single statement piece, plaid has been updated for autumn/winter 18 with bold new colours, oversized lines, and quirky cool combos (like being mixed with floral prints). Of course, if grandpa-style plaid isn’t your thing, fear not. The timeless print is especially making a comeback by way of accessories, which is a fun way to incorporate it into your daily outfits. Here are six non-grungy plaid pieces that will help you master autumn dressing.
Elena Ghisellini
Defined by its gunmetal-woven handle, the Angel bag includes a detachable strap and tassels, while its leather exterior is finished with tartan-patterned fabric for a distinctive look typical of the Italian label.
Beaufille
This Galileo tunic has been cut from lightweight cotton and silk-blend voile that’s smocked at the ruffled collar, cuffs and waist. Style yours as a mini dress with a pair of cowboy boots and you’ll be ticking off two autumn trends in one.
Gabriela Hearst
One of the first pieces to stride out on Gabriela Hearst’s AW18 runway, these colourful checked trousers are a fine example of the New York-based label’s impeccable tailoring. Team them with a white blouse and mules for a striking work-week ensemble.
Tory Burch
The perfect piece to brighten up any look, Tory Burch’s Glenn plaid tote is made from orange, black and white ecru wool and features top handles, an internal zipped pocket and an open top design.
Burberry
Burberry’s trench coat is patterned with a mixture of classic checks inspired by archival piece. It can be worn open over a white short or try knotting the extra long belt to cinch the loose shape.
Monse
Monse’s dynamic off-the-shoulder jacket is perfectly in tune with the season’s hybrid mood. The deconstructed plaid design features an exaggerated draped panel that leads to an asymmetrical hemline and is cut with an off-the-shoulder neckline.
Four boot trends you’ll want to embrace this autumn.
