Now, a couple of weeks ago we covered one of the Fall trends, the knee high boot. While that trend’s comeback was a shock to many, today’s trend is less so. However, that doesn’t make it boring - it’s a classic! And with the right styling, we can make it feel fresh, current and fun.

Now before we think, “wah-wahhhhh… been there done that,” I want to give you some tips to make it exciting for you. You can make the plaid you already own feel new (now who doesn’t love that?!).

So, here are FIVE TIPS TO FRESHEN UP YOUR PLAID:

Combine it with modern cuts, details or hardware to keep it from feeling dated or dowdy
Go bold and innovative- try an oversized statement (for example, a blown up plaid in a coat or dress)
Try it in unique places like ia shoe or color blocking on a tote bag
Pair it with luxe textures to counter feeling too “Catholic school uniform-ish”
