How to Look Chic in Plaid?

Fear not. Selena Gomez is wearing the popular pattern, but she doesn't look sloppy or unkempt. On the contrary, she looks rather cute and chic in her plaid shift.
To avoid looking like a lumberjack, find pieces with ultra-feminine details. Vivienne Tam makes a purple plaid dress with a flirty neck tie. Heck, head over to Target for an equally cute look at one-ninth the price!
Clear your mind of the meh button-ups that Lindsay Lohan and Girlfriend Samantha Ronson seem to be living in. You know, the ones that make you look like you hit the snooze button one too many times.
There are plenty of pretty plaid tops available. Anthropologie makes a beautiful blouse with ruffled neckline and contrasting trim that plays up the waist. No one will mistake you for a lumberjack in that! I'm also in love with Silence & Noise's silk plaid tunic with flowy silhouette and back keyhole. The magenta really updates the traditional black and red color combo. Pair these or similar plaid tops with fitted jeans and you're all set!
