If punk isn’t floating your boat, you can do a complete 180 to ‘preppy plaid.’ And when I say 180, I mean it; a lot of preppy looks involve light colors; shades of brown, yellow, and light blue. Dark colors can work here too; take a look at those red and black leggings, looking like they just stepped down from the punk section! Again, the key here is other clothing pieces. Using more ‘casual’ pieces (like a modest sweater and close-toed shoes) totally changes the feel of the colors. But either way, this plaid looks totally fashionable!
