Hi Glams!

With summer officially ending soon, what better time than now to start dreaming up your looks for fall? If you’re anything like me, then you probably already have your eyes peeled on several of the season’s hottest trends.

I am personally going mad for plaid right now! I just can’t seem to shake this fabric! I keep having visions of me strutting around rocking a crisp plaid button-down with a pencil skirt and a pair of sling back Christian Louboutin heels by day, while wearing the same button-down with a pair of skinny jeans, a leather biker jacket and a pair of seriously tough biker boots by night. C’mon moms, you know this sounds like the perfect Friday night movie look!

The plaid trend is nothing new. I clearly have more than my share of plaid shirts already hanging in my closet. In fact, many of us might have fell in love with the trend years ago, thanks to the movie Clueless. However, the fashion game has definitely changed since those days. Nowadays, plaid can be dressed up or down; it can be worn sexy or tomboy-chic and it can be designer or bargain-chic!

In order to make sure you nail the look without looking like a schoolgirl, keep these four tips in mind:

• Don’t forget to accessorize—Adding a gold statement necklace and bangles to your look is both an easy and inexpensive way to add a bit of glam to a basic plaid shirt.
• Going Head-To-Toe Plaid Is OK—We over at BlackGlamourMom are loving suits right now. With that said, why not try a tailored plaid suit paired with a stylish pair of neutral-colored heels?
• Add Pops of Plaid—If you aren’t daring enough to go all the way plaid, why not add a few pops of plaid to your look? You can take part in the trend by simply choosing a plaid handbag, a pair of shoes or even a headband.
• Don’t Be Afraid To Go Beyond Red Plaid—You don’t have to always go with red plaid. You can always try green, yellow or any other color plaid. Who says plaid has to be red anyway?

Check out some of our favorite plaid pieces:

1. Green SEA Bufflo plaid stretch-wool mini skirt, $350
2. Saint Laurent Cropped Caban Cut Away, $2350
3. VALENTINO Boutique Skirt (Not Available)
4. Plaid High Waist Legging, $13

So glams, are you excited to rock your plaid this fall? What are you planning on buying in plaid during your next shopping trip?
