SMART INVESTMENTS | PLAIDS

The good old plaid comes with great credentials. The Scots created it to distinguish family clans and the rest of the world took to it with enthusiasm. It stands for the sexiness of 70’s westerns, rebellion of the 80’s punk movement and pride of the 90’s grunge.

Stylish and eternally fashionable | it teams up beautifully with just about anything - leather pants, leggings, shorts or skirts. Startlingly gorgeous when coupled with white denim or the regular blue, wear it buttoned up or throw it over a t-shirt and opt for unbuttoned effortless chic. Tuck it into your skirt or jeans for a more streamlined appeal.

For an air of cool insouciance | layer under your cardigan, with the collar and sleeves popping out, and the bottom untucked. Throw a jacket over it to add that edge of versatility. Got a meeting to attend? Put on a blazer and watch it transform you into a professional on the go!

Accessorise | with a thick scarf or simple earrings. Use it over a summer dress or a tight fitting one. A well-fitted plaid jacket is a great way to flaunt the equestrian in you.

Wear it buttoned up or throw it over a t-shirt

A swaying plaid skirt | with a t-shirt or shirt evokes a sense of romance. For a more formal look, use the narrower plaid weave for a longer straight skirt. Another great way to use it is structured pants. Top it with a plain shirt and a string of pearls to create a statement.

Fun and easy to wear | plaids also come in lots of colours - the classic black and red, forest green and navy blue, feminine pink and purple hues and delicious chocolate. Its infinite variations make it multi-functional for any size, shape and age. Resonating honest style, personifying cool glamour, it’s worn by fans and celebrities alike. The plaid is one clan of fashion you can depend on.
