The Fall Trend: Punchy Plaid
Plaid is a staple for Fall, but the 2019 version comes bold and bright. Try the trend at work by pairing a colorfully checked piece back to solids, going the monochromatic route, or trying a mix of bright separates in simple silhouettes. To tie it everything together, mix in a neutral item to temper the effect.
