Over the past year, we've seen a lot of trends that left a large mark on our collective fashion conscience—shell jewelry, skinny sunglasses, and beaded bags, just to name a few. And while every trend deserves its time to shine, there's something to be said for the pieces that transcend from a seasonal trend to a must-have closet staple—enter checks and plaids.
Yup, the normally autumnal fabric is having a moment this spring—and, luckily, there's a style to suit every taste. Burberry and MSGM served up the trend with a cool-girl twist, while Gucci and Preen went the maximalist route. Deviating from the traditional buffalo check or tartan, the current plaid is one we saw transformed into various colorways and given a light, summery touch. And to add a bit of irony to the mix, doesn’t it feel much more unexpected to see a typical cold-weather trend in a warmer environment? (The answer is yes.)
It's safe to say that plaid has lost its schoolgirl edge and assumed a new, cooler stance. Whether spliced with lace or all mashed up—plaids, ginghams, and checks of all strokes are experiencing a renaissance...
