At this time of year in France, colors and patterns usually go into hibernation. On the rare occasion that you do spot a pattern, chances are, it's plaid.
Plaid flannel shirts will always be timeless, but ever given thought to purchasing a plaid coat? It's a nice change from the usual solid colors.
Why camouflage with the snow, when you can be so distinctive with a plaid coat? The key is that it's distinctive, but not flashy.
Here you see couture princess Blair Waldorf, from Gossip Girl, looking fierce in a black and white Betsey Johnson (who's a SU alumna!) plaid coat.
We're all about some plaid coats, just like Blair. XOXO
Yours truly is always on the look out for fresh plaid patterns, and fell in love with this yellow Victoria's Secret plaid wool coat for $129. The military style buttons add even more structure to the crisscrossing lines.
Vicky's secret? A great plaid look.
I'm also lovin' this plaid jacket from Mama Stone Vintage, an online store that sells vintage clothes on eBay. One key thing about wearing plaid: don't pair it with other patterns or a bright color. Let the plaid take center stage by wearing dark leggings or pants to match the coat.
Mama Stone Vintage's retro plaid style.
American Eagle also has a snug green and blue plaid wool coat for $119.95. Again, French style is very conservative with colors, so when picking a plaid pattern, don't steer too far from cool, dark colors.
Save the tutti frutti palette for a warmer season.
