Our Best Tips For Mixing
And Matching Different Plaids In Your Outfits
By ZOE NOLZ
Color With Black-And-White
Do you want to add a subtle pop of color to your outfit featuring a black-and-white plaid top? A plaid accessory with red, blue, green, pink, or yellow can be the perfect splash of color to elevate your look, whether you rock a plaid tie, hat, scarf, or purse.
Stick To A Color Range
To avoid your ensemble appearing too over-the-top, consider wearing plaids in the same color range. For instance, a gray jacket with a low-key plaid print with a black top and bolder gray plaid trousers will pair well together for a stylish, cohesive outfit.
Explore Color Blocking
On the other hand, intentionally mixing plaid pieces in opposite colors will make a daring fashion statement. For example, a blue plaid top with a yellow plaid skirt exudes exciting cool-girl energy for an unapologetically loud look.
Layer Your Plaids
Layering different plaids is another fun way to style quirky ensembles. Wearing a colorful plaid top or skirt under a playful plaid jacket can be a cute spin on TikTok's frazzled English woman trend if you're going for a unique, somewhat casual vibe.
Try Plaid Jewelry
If you can find jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, or bracelets featuring any plaid details, consider purchasing those pieces to wear with your plaid clothing. That combination of plaids will make for a unique and creative ensemble!
