1. Play with the diversity
Plaid has an amazing diversity. Once it was only found on the shirts, but now can find plaids on skirts and trousers, even on evening gowns. So, if you are petite girl/women who want to wear plaid, then go ahead and experiment. Choose something that is fun like plaid trousers or opt for something flirtatious like a small plaid skirt. Opt for funky plaids overall for the ‘I-don’t care attitude’ and choose from a variety of colors.
2. Few Plaids
If you don’t want a plaid overall then ditch it! And instead opt for few plaids on a monochrome outfit. This would attach sophistication to your outfit. Go for something like plaid scarves with a jeans and t-shirt or jackets and shoes. Take a plaid handbag with you when go out for shopping with your girlfriends. They certainly give a boost to your fashion style, elegance and feminity. Choose just a touch of plaid and get your tartan accessorizes. If you want some experiment than get plaid piping on your dress and get ready to be envied!
3. Look hot and amazing
If you are ready to break the dogma that plaids are only on shirts, then you have a wide variety of plaids for your dresses. Opt for all plaid outfits, like a red gown in plaids or get detailed plaid skirts, jackets for the ultimate fashion statement. There are so many hues of plaid that you can go for subtle colors or get red and black colored plaids. If you are ready for some fun than choose something between yellow, electric blue and lavender. Make sure that the color suits your skin tone. To flatter your waistline, buy long plaid shirts with belts.
4. Small v/s oversized plaids
Oversized plaids generally look better on taller women. If you are petite and small, then look for basic plaids. Your plaid patterns must be small or medium so that you don’t look too thin or too small. Pair your plaid jackets with slim jeans or leggings and add high heels for the chic style. Wear Glen plaid patterns if you want to look neutral.
5. The plaid style
Wear diagonal plaid as they would flatter your body type and make you look curved. Avoid horizontal lines as they will make you look more thinner and might not be the perfect choice for you.
