How to wear plaid

Plaid is a fall classic, but wearing it well is all about balance.

When you’ve got a bold plaid piece, like a vibrant skirt or a large coat,

pairing it with solid-coloured clothes keeps your outfit stylish without being overwhelming.

For example:

If you're wearing a large plaid coat, tone it down with neutral trousers in black, beige, or grey. This lets the coat shine while keeping your look sleek.

Don't forget the rule of proportions:

Large plaid suits bigger frames, so matching it with simpler pieces creates a nice balance.

Petite frames look best with smaller plaid patterns, and keeping the rest of the outfit plain helps the pattern stand out without being too much.

Remember to keep It simple; let the plaid take the spotlight.

Keeping everything else understated and solid-coloured ensures your outfit stays stylish and balanced.

Let the plaid stand out by pairing it with a solid colour.

Too many patterns can overwhelm the eyes, making it hard to know where to focus.
