As a Jacket Over Bike Shorts

Play up the most trendy look of the season: bike shorts! If you're nervous about pulling them off, go with a black tank and throw on your plaid top as a jacket.

 

Tied in the Front

Instead of letting your plaid hang loose, tie up the front for a little extra style. We like this laidback look paired with booties and cropped jeans.

Plaid on Plaid

For the daring fashion girl, why not give plaid on plaid a try? The trick is to use two complementary colors and look for different print sizes. So if your go-to plaid has a smaller check, look for a plaid skirt or pant with a larger check.

 

Casual With Shorts

Sometimes the simplest outfits can be so chic. Pair your button-down plaid with cute cutoffs for an off-duty day, unbutton a few buttons from the top and layer on some dainty gold necklaces.
