Tally up all the plaid appearing in street style, and you'd think fashion people are just as obsessed with Gossip Girl as we (still) are. That or people are reigniting an obsession with Burberry's signature print. In any case, the legions of plaid-infused outfits on the streets at New York, London, and Paris over the course of Fashion Month has truly left an impression on us as onlookers—and suddenly, we're much more aware of the wide array of tartans now available in retail right now.
This season's approach to the familiar pattern fuses classic red, purple, and gray checks with a Cher Horowitz, ahem, sensibility–one can suit up entirely in plaid skirt and blazer sets, pull on a patchwork plaid skirt, or simply swap a black blazer for borrowed-from-the-boys plaid number (we're partial to one in a bold shade of green or yellow). Consider any of the picks below your gateway to plaid's chic, and continued, resurgence this season. Because, if street style is any indication, there's a lot more where these plaids came from—so stock up now.
