Trend Alert: Glen plaid for fall

Glen plaid (aka Prince of Wales or checked plaid) is in this Fall. The plaid consists of dark and light stripes alternating to create a crossing pattern of irregular checks.  You’ll see slight variations on the theme with brown, black, grey and white being the most common colors and sometimes red, green, or blue as highlight colors. Here are a few of my favorite picks:

Glen Plaid Pants

The easiest way to add Prince of Wales plaid to your wardrobe is to incorporate a pair of pants. You can generally pair with all your black, white, or navy tops and additional colors depending on the plaid accent.

 

Glen Plaid Over-sized Blazers

Over-sized blazers are in this fall and a prince of wales version is an extra trendy look. Often best on tall ladies, this can be worn to the office or casually (See Wendy’s lookbook for  casual look inspiration).

 

 

 

 

Glen Plaid Shirts

Not as common are Prince of wale plaid tops but they are easy to incorporate in your wardrobe. They are especially great for the office and easily paired with black pants.
