Mad About Plaid

Fashion Trends and Friends did a previous blog post titled: Perfect in Plaid Pants. Click HERE! We shared 13 ways to style plaid pants! When my fellow fashionable friends suggested we do a collaboration on plaid, it was an easy YES for me and no panic regarding do I even have any plaid in my wardrobe…why YES, YES I DO! It’s no secret I’m a huge fan!

Currently Trending Plaid Blazers

A plaid blazer can actually double as a really trendy top when you button it up! Make sure the blazer is just a little oversized and the jeans or pants are slim fit and skinny at the ankle to balance proportions. Pair with your favorite booties and voila! Your perfect fall outfit is done.

I purchased my boyfriend style plaid jacket last year! Actually, I like how I styled it this year even better! The leopard print accessories with the plaid is a great mix in my opinion! This jacket would also look great with a sweater underneath, leggings and booties!

How I Styled the Plaid Jacket this Year

How I Styled the Plaid Jacket Last Year

Last year, I made a video for work wearing my boyfriend plaid jacket…felt like a boss babe so thought it was fitting. I’m including the video as it gives you a peek into a tiny portion of what I do as my district’s Prevention Coordinator.

Plaid Pants

Plaid pants are my jam! I own quit a few pairs in all kinds of colors! Plaid pants call my name. I wear them all year long and in every season. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pair of plaid pants that I didn’t love!

These plaid pants are the exact match to the boyfriend jacket I just posted! They could be paired with the jacket for a matchy matchy look, which I’m not opposed to and actually tend to be matchy matchy but have yet to wear that way. I tend to pair them with a solid color top or sweater. Used my leopard accessories especially since all animal prints are on major trend right now!

Plaid Pants: New York and Company (last year)
Sweater: Express
Leopard Belt and Sandals: Target
Necklace: Chico’s (last year)

Had to share the back of this sweater as the v cut out adds so much interest! I’ve also paired this sweater with white jeans.

The day I recently wore these plaid pants my nails were a perfect match! Made my heart sing…case in point and had to take a picture! Love matchy matchy!

Nail Colors: White, Light Beige and Gold Glitter – DIP manicure

If you’re an avid FTF follower, you know I LOVE wearing bright colors! When I spotted these plaid beauties, I knew immediately I had to have them. Who doesn’t love a bright plaid that includes PINK?! These plaid pants will look great with a thicker solid colored sweater and booties for the dull days of winter!

Sweater: Glam Fox Boutique – @glamfoxboutique

Thought you’d like to see the great colors – pink, turquoise, yellow, black and white up close!

Couldn’t pass up these plaid pants as I loved the unique color combination! These colors seem so fall perfect! I’ll also wear these pants in the winter by switching out this short sleeved top for either a long sleeved top or a solid colored sweater.

Top and Pants: New York and Company

      Hi Janet,

      Thanks so much for your kinds words! It really means a lot to me! I wouldn’t have paired plaid and leopard in the past, but am getting bolder with what I’m willing to try and wear! I also get lots of inspiration from all the other beautiful, fashionable friends that I follow!
