Here is one way to de-holiday a particularly festive plaid shirt (or any plaid shirt for that matter).
Pattern-mixing is a always a fun way to add interest to an outfit! By adding a boldly-patterned sweater layered over your plaid shirt, you make the plaid a little bit more subtle. I think that a stripes would look great with plaid as well!
Another way to take your favorite plaid shirt into the spring is to find a lighter accent color in the shirt and to play it up! For example, there is a bit of mint green (so popular this spring) running through this shirt. I could layer a mint sweater over top of the plaid or I could wear some mint skinny jeans to really accentuate the springy hue.
Do you have any other tips for taking your favorite plaid shirt into the warmer seasons?

Plaid under spots, you are brave, but it works! I would have never thought of this! I think the mint sweater would work, too!

I'm so glad that you agree that my pattern mixing works! It's fun to take risks but I often wonder if I'm actually pulling it off.
DeletePlaid with polka dots is such a great combination! You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren! And thanks for hosting such a fun link-up!
DeleteThank you for helping me extend the wearability of my plaid! I really love the mint jeans idea and those have been on my "to buy" list anyway, so I will keep looking for the right pair. The polka dots are super fun too and perhaps someday I'll be more adventurous with my pattern mixing :) Having such a fashionable best friend to go to with questions is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI SO hope that you find mint jeans so I can see how this idea of mine turns-out. Love you!
DeleteI have a really similar plaid and struggled with it a little after Christmas... this is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteOh good! I'm so glad I could be of some help :)
