Spring and Summer Trend: Plaid is Here to Stay
In recent years, we have seen a love affair with plaid in Spring and Summer fashion. Tops, bottoms, shoes, and bags have all been pleasantly plaid. This Spring has seen a continuance of this sentiment. When surrounded by so much plaid, it can be a bit overwhelming to put outfits together. Trying to find the best top to go with those plaid shorts when all of the tops around seem to have stripes can be a bit of a tiring process.
For men, the plaid is primarily found on shorts or tops. I am a big fan of the plaid shorts on men. Pair them with a solid, matching polo. You can also pair them with a polo with a single bold stripe across the chest. Just make sure that the colors in the top complement the colors on bottom. For a more casual look, you can pair the plaid shorts with a matching graphic tee. The graphic on the front does not necessarily need to coordinate with the plaid in the bottoms as long as the base color of the tee coordinates. For the plaid tops, pair them with a solid color bottoms. Do not mix plaid tops with plaid bottoms. That is simply too much plaid.
For women, the plaid is most prevalent on bottoms, shoes, and bags. I really like the plaid shorts (Bermuda and other) as well as the plaid skirts paired with a solid tee. It is a fun, casual look. I have also notice plaid straps on flip flops. These are great when paired with an outfit with coordinating colors. It is okay to mix plaids when on is on your shorts and the other on your shoes, just make sure that there is not a large contrast in the colors.
Plaid is also popular for the little ones this year. Girls are being decked out in little plaid dresses, while the boys are wearing plaid shorts nearly identical to Dad’s. The same principals apply when trying to make outfits for the little ones. Most of the time, they are sold as outfits, which takes out a lot of the guess work for you.
If you have been afraid to try plaids, don’t be! They are a fun, stylish way to round out your Spring and Summer wardrobe.
