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!
