Fall Trend: Plaid

presented by our sponsor:

TREND TO COVET: Plaid

You've got a new plaiditude. Let Britain invade. Tartan it up. Get anglomaniacal. The pattern for fall is positively plaid. And the look of plaid this season is preppy meets punk, with cool rocker-chick undertones. Think prep-school cool.

Whether you opt for large bold doses, a la full-length coats, or small doses, a la belts, bags and shoes, make a plaid dash for this fun trend.
