It’s a Plaid, Plaid, Plaid, Plaid World

• I am having a plaid/tartan moment also. I ordered a Blackwatch tartan parka from Cabbages and Roses a quirky brand in London a while ago. It arrived by post yesterday and it was love at first sight… so cool and a different take on a plain parka without being trendy.

• I love the traditional tartans, but some of the ones with a lot of white in them remind me of those plastic laundry bags

• A little plaid goes a long way. Just a touch or accent is great – otherwise, it’s too much like a school uniform.

• Zara has a beautiful tartan scarf. It is very soft. That’s my plaid item of the season. 🙂

• You should pass on this trend Preston. That is what I love about your style, it’s not about fads. Celine or not, in a year people will be saying “what was I thinking”.

• Hi Preston,
  In London the plaids are everywhere. My sense is that this is the transition moment from fall to winter, not a fad. I’m already wearing a wool plaid scarf and will have several more before this season is over. Soft warm cashmere plaid swathed around a cold neck never goes out of style.

• I think a touch of plaid is timeless, a roomful is just trendy. One of those chairs in the right spot would be a great statement maker.

• I just ordered a plaid shirt from Madewell. Will wear it under sweaters so as not to show too much plaid–just a hint.

• Preston
  I do not care for the Celine or Stella McCartney plaids that were shown this season. Happy you agree! I don’t know They were not appealing. I like your simple effortless style. Bringing in plaid in a small way or not at all makes more sense. Here’s to more grey!!!!
  And I hate those shoes!! How is that tasteful???

• by the way, if someone bought me that plaid chanel cuff, I would definitely wear it. Just the right amount!!!!
  (and i did love the YSL plaid shirts this year but QUITE PRICEY for a casual shirt, i think!!!)
  R 13 had some really cute options!!!!
