17 Reasons Not To Wait For Fall To Wear Plaid

Patience may be a virtue, but it’s not one of ours — especially when we’re waiting to wear next season’s fashions. One look at Altuzarra’s fall runway, and we were chomping at the bit to don one traditional autumn trend in particular: plaid. In fact, we went full Veruca Salt over it. We didn’t care how, we wanted it now.

Well, luck is on our side, even if the weather’s not. Just as our plaid craving intensified, we began noticing the pattern in a slew of summer styles. Lighter fabrics, brighter colors, and skimpier cuts have given the print a warm-weather makeover. So, we immediately set about gathering summer-plaid looks, all lined up for you ahead — and there’s not a bad egg in the bunch. We love it when we get our way.
