MAD ABOUT PLAID

Plaid is no longer exclusive to flannel button-ups and cold weather coat linings. This springtime-turnedsummer brings an influx of plaid wardrobe pieces that reinforce classic motifs while holding space across breezy, preppy essentials.
“ The pattern brings pop colors and playful movement to everyday style. The print’ s prevalence is reflected in our new arrivals, from romantic dresses to tailored blouses to silk accessories,” says Linda Cui Zhang, Associate Fashion Director at Nordstrom.“ We’ re excited by the modern takes on plaid.”
Many know Burberry as the pioneer of plaid, but this upmarket pattern is making waves with fresh ideas from designers of a similar breed for early 2025. As spring arrives, Zhang reminds fashionmongers that raincoats are a season essential, along with an excellent introduction into rocking plaid, as she says there are“ many choices to discover the best fit.” She recommends cropped styles for a transitional staple, along with a variety of timeless selections and inventive cuts.
