Fall Fashion Trend to Buy Now: The Plaid Jacket

This will be the second fall running for plaid as a fashion trend, and while you may not have warmed up to it last year we’re suggesting you take another look. Seriously, it’s a great way to add a little interest to those functional but essentially dull fall wardrobe elements. We’re not suggesting full-on plaid pants (though, if you’re so inclined, who are we to stop you) — instead, pick up a casual plaid jacket. The best way to keep it modern? The key is always in the cut. We’re thinking a plaid bomber jacket will keep you up-to-speed, and kick up the style quotient on those tired old jeans. Oh, and keep you warm too. So everybody wins.
