New York Fashion Week is the breeding ground for major trends, not the least of which are happening on the street. As you can probably guess, the crafty editors, fashion insiders, and street style stars are behind some of our favorite looks — and right now that has everything to do with classic plaid prints.
More often associated with menswear or prep-school uniforms, the street style crowd is giving houndstooth, checks, and plaid a modern makeover. Sure, some it is still delivered with sophistication — we're looking at you Nicole Warne — but other takes are dressed down with denim, layered over shearling, and paired with leather for that street-cool vibe. However you decide to wear it, one thing is clear: you can't go wrong wearing a pop of this print. See the snaps, and shop the trend right here.
