Plaid looks sharpest when one piece carries the pattern, either the coat or the boot, and everything else stays solid. If you want plaid on both, keep them in the same color family so they look coordinated instead of competing.
Plaid coats
- Tan plaid, longline: The TALORA-TANPLAID LONG FAUX FUR TRENCH COAT is a 129 cm tan multi-plaid coat with a spread collar, a full lining and a plush faux fur trim that detaches, so it goes from dramatic to tailored.
- Green plaid, double-breasted: The AVENNA-GREENPLAID LONG FAUX FUR TRENCH COAT is a fully lined, 121 cm double-breasted coat in green multi plaid. The faux fur collar and cuffs attach when you want more drama.
- Street-style plaid: The STUDIO-MULTI PLAID TRENCH JACKET pairs a classic plaid with modern tailoring for an everyday layer.
Plaid boots and booties
- Brown plaid with shearling: The SERIOUS-BROWNPLAID FAUX FUR STILETTO BOOTIE mixes autumn brown plaid with faux leather panels, metallic buckles and a faux shearling trim. It has a round toe, a 5.1-inch stiletto, a 5.2-inch shaft and a side zipper.
- Yellow plaid with denim: The BIRDSONG-YELLOWPLAID STILETTO BOOTIE combines yellow plaid with a distressed denim-inspired fabric, ruching and silver snaps. It has a round toe, a 3.93-inch stiletto, a 6.1-inch shaft and a rear zip.
How to wear plaid without overdoing it
- One plaid per outfit, unless the colors match. Two plaids work when they share a palette, like a tan plaid coat with a brown plaid bootie.
- Pull one solid color from the plaid. Use it for your knit, pants or bag so the pattern looks intentional.
- Keep the rest simple. Plaid is already busy. Pair it with solid knits, denim and smooth fabrics.
- Use detachable trim to change the mood. Wear TALORA or AVENNA with the fur on for evenings and without it for daytime.
Four plaid outfits
- Warm plaid on plaid: TALORA-TANPLAID over a cream knit and straight-leg jeans, with SERIOUS-BROWNPLAID booties. The tan and brown tones tie the two plaids together.
- Green and black: AVENNA-GREENPLAID with the fur collar on, over a black turtleneck dress and sleek black knee-high boots.
- Everyday street style: STUDIO-MULTI over a fitted black bodysuit and relaxed jeans, with a solid black boot.
- Bold bootie, quiet outfit: BIRDSONG-YELLOWPLAID with light-wash jeans, a white tee and a denim jacket, which echoes the boot's denim panels.
