Why Are People Mad About Plaid?
Plaid patterns are stripes and bars of varying widths that cross together to form squares. There are different reasons why everyone seems to be mad for plaid. For me, I love plaid because it is a common fashion detail of the British fashion line Burberry + reminiscent of the grunge era of the 90s. You can’t go wrong with plaid. It is a trend that can easily fit the different fashion expectations of all women. When accessorized and complemented with the right garment pieces – plaid creates a style statement that is classic and downright ace!
Plaids go well with almost every look. It is easy to incorporate this print into your everyday outfit whether it is casual or dressed up. It is no wonder that people are mad about plaid!
Using these tips can bring out the best of plaids:
- Complement plaid outfits with accessories (pull in or contrast colors from your jewelry, footwear, and purse).
- Use plaid patterns with other patterns (such as dots) or solid colors to showcase the bold print.
- Get the right shoe to go with the outfit (dress up..heels vs dress down…boots or sneakers).

Initially when I read the title of this post I was like, wait, why are people mad about plaid? Is it a bad pattern or something? Then I was like OHHH MAD – like they’re obsessed and UM, I can see why! The vibrant plaid prints you found to wear – AMAZING!
I read this post initially all wrong I thought people were really literally mad about plaid lol! I love your new age verson of plaid with the different variation of how it flows into an outfit.
I love plaid since it’s easy to mix and match. Also, it can be formal and casual at the same time depending on how you wear it.
All plaid combinations look so very different but very eye catching. And you carry them so well. Must confess you are looking just awesome.
Your combination of tartan dress of fuchsia colour with the blue tartan skirt is is amazing. I would not even think about combinate two tartan pieces. Also, I love your blue cardigan, it pairs well with rest of the colours.
It is the colors with the plaid that really makes the plaid a fab look. Plus you really rock this look. I am really loving your Fendi purse too.
That dress is beautiful for spring I like it!
