Mad about Plaid… and checks

The classic fall pattern is brighter and bolder than before. I’ve seen it almost everywhere, from preppy youthful looks to “hunting club” outfits and even on cocktail dresses and delicate blouses.

A statement coat is a must have this fall so you could opt for a gorgeous plaid one. My choice is the blue and brown knee length coat from Alexandre Herchcovitch, but shhh... don’t tell anyone.

Another must have is a dress. I mean every season is a good season to buy a new dress but this fall you should buy a “Britt” one. A chic, simply cut, dress in plaid will do wonders. I love how the traditional red plaid looks on a flirty dress. Gray is a strong trend, too, and does look good on almost everyone.

Plaid and checksPlaid and checks

There are also patterned separates: pencil or full skirts, pants, mannish shirts or delicate blouses or even suits like the one in red tartan from Kenzo. So, there is plaid for everyone from clothing pieces to shoes and handbags and even chic accessories like scarves and hats.
