Plaid Picks for Fall

Print mixing, autumn plaid edition, may be the best thing to happen to my fall wardrobe. 

Post-Work (or weekend) Style

I mixed buffalo plaid with this fun printed tunic with jeans and sneakers to meet up with Brooke after work last Thursday. We shopped in Old Town and stopped in at Punk Taco for dinner and drinks. She got herself a margarita and one single taco to sample and I got my usual two chorizo taco dinner. Why is chorizo so good?!

Anyways, I considered styling something not as casual as this and styling this tunic a little edgier with a suede jacket and some boots, but I really wanted to mix some prints with this cozy jacket and wear some sneakers–and call it a day. And of course, it’s now my favorite look I’ve worn in a while.

Cozy Fall Outerwear Pieces to Shop

I got so many questions on where I snagged this buffalo plaid Columbia jacket. On the way home from the upper peninsula, Matt and I stopped by an outdoorsy store he loves and since I’m slowly returning to my hillbilly roots of camping and outdoorsy shit, I thought hey, I bet there’s cool shit for me to check out. And if you’re looking for this jacket online, check Moosejaw (comes in other fun prints like camo and solid colors.)

This Patagonia 1/4 zip is on sale in select colors (I own it in grey and wear it all fall/winter long, and I go up a size to a medium, just more comfortable!) And this black down vest is 40% off, woo!

And if you’re looking for something less sporty, this beautiful, affordable cape and this fun plaid one would easy to wrap up in and style a little more polished or super casual.

More Plaid to Shop

I also tried on this plaid Woolrich vest and loved it–and still want it. If you’re looking for something a little more elevated, I found this lightweight plaid coat and this oversized plaid print duster, so chic! For a cozy style, try styling this plaid boyfriend shirt (four plaid colors) and wear it as a tunic with leggings.

I also love to style plaid scarves and ponchos this time of year! This plaid blanket scarf can be styled as a scarf or more of a poncho, double duty–and it’s 40% off. For more traditional scarves, I love this camel reversible version and this red reversible one!
