Get Office-Ready With Plaid
9-to-5 dressing never felt so easy. Pair a sharp plaid blazer or structured plaid midi skirt with a chiffon blouse for a professional look that works well into happy hour; think neutral trousers, a crisp white shirt, or tonal accessories. Prefer dresses over separates? Explore our latest collection of plaid dresses available in a variety of silhouettes and colourways to keep your style fresh for the office. Add a belt or trendy loafers to finish the look. The beauty of plaid lies in its versatility and our workwear collection offers a range of plaid prints in a variety of colours and styles that will instantly elevate your style without the added stress of figuring out what to wear every morning.
Layer It Up
Cooler days call for layering and plaid makes it easy. Try a trendy plaid coatigan or shacket over chunky knits, or throw on a plaid scarf. This classic pattern adds warmth and visual interest when the temperature dips but you’re not ready for full outerwear.
Stay Casual in Plaid
For laid-back days, plaid shines. Go for a button-down flannel, relaxed button-up shirt, or a casual plaid dress. Pair with denim, your favourite boots, and subtle accents—think suede loafers or comfy sneakers—to turn a casual look into something effortlessly stylish. Our plaid styles can be incorporated in your day-to-day while running errands, meeting friends for coffee, or during fall activities on the weekends. No matter which way you style, plaid is here to stay and a must-add to your seasonal rotation.
Styling Tips to Make Plaid Work
Mix smartly: Plaid-on-plaid works when you keep one piece subtle (small checks or muted tones) and the other bold. Balance with neutrals: Let plaid be the star—pair it with cream, black, camel, or classic denim. Pay attention to proportion: Oversized plaid coats or capes can balance slim pants or tailored skirts. Plaid skirts or trousers look fresh with fitted tops or everyday basics. Use texture: Velvet, wool, or brushed knits give plaid print depth and richness—perfect for fall vibes.
Why Plaid Works Fall After Fall
It’s classic but always relevant. Plaid captures the mood of autumn: cozy, layered, grounded, and rich in tones. Whether in jackets, skirts, shirts, dresses, or scarves, it brings a mood-setting texture that transitions effortlessly from day to night.
