One of the trends that will rule in 2023 is plaid and all its variations. From traditional red and black to gingham, buffalo check and houndstooth, try different styles to see what suits you best. If you want to incorporate the plaid print into your wardrobe but you need to know how, I've got you covered.

Mix and match

Plaid is a versatile pattern that can be paired with other patterns, such as stripes, checks or florals, for a bold and eclectic look. Opt for a knitted maxi skirt in plaid and style it with a ckecked balzer in the same color palette as these beautiful pastel colors.

Plaid on plaid

Size does matter.. so if the plaid lines are large they will not match with another print like striped which has smaller size of lines, this choice will affect the balance of your Look. However, if the clothes have the same print, such as a plaid top with thin lines and plaid skirt with thick lines, as in this case different forms of the same print are combined.

You can use plaid as an accent on a piece of clothing, in this case the blazer. A plaid jacket is a great starting point that you can easily style with jeans and sneakers for a casual morning appearance. If you want to go one step further, add an animal-printed turtleneck for extra glam!
