Some prints and textures just feel synonymous with a certain season, like velvet does to winter, gingham does to spring, and florals do to summer. As for autumn? There's nothing that screams PSL season more than plaid, which is why I rounded up 20 plaid fashion pieces for fall 2019 that will definitely get you in the mood for the impending chilly days ahead. With summer (un)officially over (technically it ends on September 23, not after Labor Day), it's time to start pulling out those chunky sweaters and long dresses and get your fall wardrobe ready. Why not add a few new pieces to it too to make the process a little more fun?

From pleated skirts and glossy rain jackets to versatile dresses and even a pair of Nike track pants, the range of plaid-printed offerings truly are incredible this season. (Seriously, did you know plaid track pants were a thing, much less a cool thing?) No matter if you prefer to punk up your plaid or make it office or prep school-appropriate, there will be ample styles for you to peruse. Choose a few of your favorites below and get ready to check yourself hard this season. Happy (almost) fall!

Green With Envy

Sport a fresh new approach to plaid with this mint green dress. Featuring puffed sleeves and a V neckline, it's equal parts sweet and trendy.

Button Up

A plaid skirt might be one of my favorite fashion items ever for its ability to be transitioned from office to night out effortlessly. Wear it with a button-up shirt and heels for something a bit more professional looking, or with platform Dr Martens boots and a graphic tee for something a bit more laid back.

Big Red

This dress screams fall dressing for its classic red plaid print and frayed hemlines. It's perfect for fancy Thanksgiving feasts and art museum jaunts alike.

Smart Dresser

I love the contrast between the plaid and plain camel of this coat — it's all kinds of effortless and chic.

It's A Classic

This perfectly tailored blazer looks like it was directly inspired by the glory days of Saville Row. Perfect to throw on with matching pants or over jeans, it's the ultimate versatile fall dressing piece.

Prep School

These cigarette pants boast a timeless print so that no matter what you wear with them, you're bound to look cool.

Check Mate

Layer this under a black turtleneck and pair it with black booties for a super easy yet stylish fall look.
