Plaid is a print with a long history, from its start in the Scottish Highlands to its grungy rise during the 1990s. But these days, it's considered a wardrobe staple [1]. Whether it's on a top, dress, or scarf, most women can claim to have the checked print in their closet. And while it's easy to get comfy wearing it just one way (like maybe the flannel shirt that's so easy to wear come cold weather), why not expand your horizons?
