8 Plaid Outfit Ideas To Look Your Fall Best This Year

When it comes to plaid, there’s nothing wrong in going back to the basics of any fall or winter outfit: layering. Get out that chunky sweater or graphic tee and give it a plaid twist with flannel layering. Winters are the perfect for cosy time dates or even a gang’s night out so give your layering a fun twist with your favourite blazer or even better, a plaid shacket to elevate the look. 

Pair them with your favourite pair of jeans that can also be elevated with some brown pumps and a tote if you're headed to work. 

Occasion/where to wear: Casual day out  

Winter meetings, fall mood? Let a pop of plaid remedy that. Layer your comfort solid tee and trousers with any checkered tweed blazer for that boss babe look. It helps if you lean more on a darker plaid print (like this one) and pair it with a solid tee underneath. Add a pop of colour with formal cherry mocha stilettos (it helps that they are also trending right now!). 

Occasion/where to wear: To the office 

Add a subtle pop of plaid to your everyday look to uplift your mood with some amazing compliments: try the good old checkered skirts look especially if you're someone who likes to flaunt those legs. 

You can also try matching your plaid skirt with some comfy stockings and an all solid sweatshirt to match the wintery vibe. Overall, we love the uniformity and chicness of the lines and boxes pattern that ensures that you never miss with this outfit! 

Occasion/where to wear: A day date

At times when it's too much work to come up with an outfit, you best believe you cannot go wrong with a chic co-rd. We love this one by Madame that is all kinds of elegant. The colour is very fall-esque and will also easily flow into your winter wardrobe. We highly suggest you amp up the entire look with gold statement earrings and bracelets that will help balance everything. 

If you want to add an edge of casual, pair it with sneakers. For some chicness, go the boots route. 

Occasion/where to wear: Brunch or a late evening event

The one thing we've learned when it comes to fashion and patterns that take centre stage is that they run the risk of looking ridiculous at times — and the same goes with plaid. The chances of it looking like a picnic blanket are high, which is why we suggest you go for this stunning fit from Oh Rare that walks the tightrope between fashion and disaster beautifully. 

When it comes to the styling, we suggest to accessorise with solid colours and complimenting jewellery. We are talking gold earrings, sunglasses, pearly white necklaces, leather gloves and boots. 

Occasion/where to wear: Brunch, coffee dates, trip to the mall! 

Boxes and checkers can get boring but plaid is more than just that. Try a different plaid pattern, like the houndstooth, to steer away from the regular fall pattern. You can pair a houndstooth turtleneck sweater with skinny jeans for a casual look. Pair it with chunky boots and you are ready to go. 

Occasion/where to wear: Grocery runs, late night drives 

The best fit is one that is comfortable. How about you make it plaid? Plaid pants are also easy to style: match them with a solid tee or top and you have the easiest ensemble there. The patterned pant speaks for itself and all you need are some casual footwear to rock this fit. 

Occasion/where to wear: To the office, anything casual 

We absolutely adore the minimalistic touch plaid adds to our wardrobe but sometimes, the pattern can be a bit too much if worn a lot. You can remedy that with subtle plaid additions to your everyday look, like a plaid watch strap, plaid bucket hat, plaid scrunchies and bows, and even cufflinks!
