Why We’re Stocking Up On All Things Plaid

On the streets of London and Paris, we’ve seen a once-upon-a-time classic make a come-back: plaid.

Whether you’re channelling Jamie in early Outlander episodes (we KNOW you watched them), coming back to your grunge roots, or just looking for a little something to break up your block colours, it seems that when winter comes, plaid will be a print of choice.

But there’s no need to wait. Get a jump start on this trend. It’s the hard-wearing between-seasons staple you can dress up or down, with ease. Our tips?

Go bold
There’s no room for subtlety here. Layer check on check in this can’t-miss print.

Go bright
Sure, there are the usual suspects; the greys, the camel tones and the black-and-white combinations. But why not pop? Try out this season’s favourite: a mustard yellow.

Go for outerwear
A statement coat / blazer / duffel is the easy way to lift your everyday pieces. It makes your old favourites feel new.
