Check, Please: 4 Steps to Being Bold and Brave in Plaid

It’s been called everything from lumbersexual to hipster-friendly, but we like to think of plaid shirts as something else — insanely cool. Easy to dress up or down, there’s no better shirt for gaining attention than a bold check.

So go ahead and stand out. We’re giving you a helping hand along the way. Check out these three quick and easy steps to pulling off plaid like a pro.

Step 1: Find Your Color

Christmas colors not your thing? No problem. Venture into the untapped hues of plaid for a color scheme that works for you. Dabble in large scale checks in clean whites and cool blues for a polished look or keep things woodsy with a deep navy and forest green.

Step 2: Find Your Print

Trust us, plaid isn’t a one check fits all. From tartan to windowpane, each check has its own unique style that speaks volumes of the wearer. Make sure your plaid fits your occasion by honing in on the squares that suit you best.

Step 3: Anchor it

Once you’ve found your color and print, the next step is all about anchoring your plaid shirt with pieces that will do anything but blend in. Count on a midnight blue slim fitting suit to anchor the busy print while still playing up your dapper edge.

Stand out from the crowd in a plaid ensemble that gives the print a modern edge. Style your plaid shirts with these easy steps for a foolproof look every time.

Be bold and brave in the best styles of plaid shirts.
