Target Trendspotting - Pretty in Plaid

No longer reserved for schoolgirl uniforms, rebellious rockers, or burly lumberjacks, plaid is a print that's both modern and feminine. How to wear it? Anchor it with traditional fall fabrics such as wool, tweed, and corduroy. For more daring types, mix plaid with polka dots, leopard prints, or even another plaid print as seen on the fall runway at Céline.  Opt for heavier fabrics for extra warmth, or go for sheer layers with a lightweight blouse.

Because the print can lean towards preppy, punk, or country heritage, accessories make all the difference. For footwear, on-trend lug sole boots lend a '90s grunge vibe, velvet loafers lean towards the preppy side, and sleek single sole heels chic-ify the print. Style your look with studs or skulls for an edgier, rock 'n' roll feel, or keep things classic with skinny jeans and skirts in dark neutrals that are perfect for fall.
