Dress Code: Plaid

We all know that plaid has been around for a very long time. And although most of the world never really makes an effort on recycling our trash, we sure know how to recycle our fashion. Plaid has boomed in the recent year and designers have been riding on that wave, creating numerous interpretations of the design. Here is an article from New York times (Fashion & Style Section) I came across called "Dress Code: Plaid". Peep some of my favorite outfits from the article:


Wool-silk-nylon blazer, $2,035 at Etro; Valentini Harris tweed wool pants, $525 at Bergdorf; tattersall cotton shirt, $168 at Steven Alan; herringbone wool tie, $115 at Polo Ralph Lauren.


Polo Ralph Lauren windowpane-check wool blazer, $1,295 at Bergdorf; checked cotton shirt, $415 at Prada; glen plaid wool topcoat, $350, and fedora, $59, both at Banana Republic. Amicale cashmere scarf, $190 at Saks.
