Mad for plaid

October 27, 2019 By hautegreyfox

It’s checkered. It’s bold. It’s plaid.

There are many things I love this fall, and bold patterns like plaid have made the list. Initially, wearing plaid may feel intimidating — you’ve got strong colors like red, blue or green crossing at right angles. There’s no need to be afraid, though. Whether you have on a plaid jacket or pants, you won’t go unnoticed as you walk into the room. Be bold this fall!

Before you go on a plaid shopping spree, here are a few of my suggestions for nailing the look:

The more plaid, the better

If you want to do this plaid thing well, don’t be afraid! This season, plaid on plaid is trending. Plaid is such a beautiful and bold print, so I hope you’ll enjoy being adventurous. If you’re not ready to bring out your plaid suit, you can pair plaid pants with a solid color top. Also, a plaid jacket or blouse goes great with denim or solid color dress pants.

Details matter

Don’t feel like you need to break the bank, but I recommend that you invest in a well-made piece of clothing. Trust me, you will wear this style often; plaid has stood the test of time. Whether you visit a consignment shop or frequent your favorite store, look at the quality of the brand. If the plaid piece doesn’t look good while it’s on a hanger, imagine how it will hold up after a few visits to the dry cleaners. The pattern should be bold and crisp.

Add a small accessory

Whether you add a hat, a bag, or a watch, don’t be afraid to include small personal accessories in your look. Again, since plaid patterns don’t require too much help, be sure that your accessories are not as loud as your pants — or top. You can still add small accessories that will help complete your look instead of attempting to compete with your look. Remember, there’s a difference. Each part of your outfit should work together so that your look is memorable.

On my Instagram page, feel free to see some of the ways that I’m wearing plaid patterns this fall. Will you make the bold move? Are you mad for plaid, too?

Garden party, anyone? I couldn’t say “no” to Garden party, anyone? I couldn’t say “no” to such flower power. 🌸🌺

When I was in Charleston, I saw @thebstinger wearing one of these beautiful dresses. I just had to ask the name of the designer. I got my answer, and I purchased two @aguabyaguabendita dresses. The best part? They were on sale, y’all. 

Would you ask someone for details on their outfit? I love to compliment my sisters in style.

I always wanted a traditional garden, but military I always wanted a traditional garden, but military life meant that moving would be inevitable. 

Thankfully, I saw something beautiful growing up that would continue to call my name. Over the years, I have watched my mom and sister create some of the most beautiful container gardens — or plants in pots. 

I planted my first garden when I was in my early 20s, and this was the time I also moved to Italy. I became mesmerized by how a single container could create such a chic, dreamy look. Today, at almost 60, my love for all-things plants hasn’t changed. 

Enjoy a few gorgeous Charleston containers for a quick recap on how to make sure your container plant includes a thriller, spiller, and filler.

The face says it all this summer, even with these The face says it all this summer, even with these hot North Carolina days.

So, like the brand @trinnylondon  says, “Rethink your routine.”
 .
I used their Eye2Eye eye shadow in the shade called “faith” - you can smudge, smoke, or define it.
 .
I locked in moisture with Lip Glow in the shade of Valentina, it’s hydrating and glossy.

I blurred those sneaky fine lines with a Face Finish and what a flawless finish. Have you tried Trinny London?  It’s a keeper for me!

I love timeless pieces. I’ve been saying this fo I love timeless pieces. I’ve been saying this for a while now because I’m only shopping for pieces that will consistently deliver. I recently collaborated with @annefontaine and I brought some of her clothes with me to Miami. I was reminded of what excites me most about timeless pieces: effortless elegance.  The white CANNES Dress is a fitted poplin halter style dress with a large single ruffle. I love the way it looks, and I can think of so many places to take a stroll in this outfit. 
The FAHELA Blouse has Anne’s personality all over it. She loves rosettes, and they are a beautiful addition to this halter with a deep V-neckline.
You’ll see me pair the NAHI Jacket with the OKINA Pant. We love a class tuxedo jacket, right? Anne Fontaine’s version features an oversized form and comes in this gorgeous soft yellow. The pants sit high on the waist and include oversized wide legs.
I also love the LORIA pants. They’re made of the same lightweight crepe fabric as the OKINA pant.
Now, it’s your turn. What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments.  #ad
