Trend Alert - The plaid shirt

Plaid, check, tartan...No matter how you call it, this shirt is not a trend but a fashion eternity. An all time classic piece that every woman should have in her closet.
Some people may connect it with lumberjacks and '90s grunge rock music, but I am going to show you many ways to style it for different occasions so that you can make looks that stand out.

Lets start with some basics. Jeans and pants, skinny or loose matched with sneakers, biker boots or pumps depending on where you are going. You can wear anything you can imagine on top of it. A leather perfecto jacket for classic rock outfits or even a wool cape can make you look fashionable and can take you from day to night.

Match your plaid shirt with skirts and look feminine and cool at once. My favorite types of skirts would be ripped jean skirts and leather pencil or pleated skirts. Style it with statement necklaces and killer high heel sandals and you will make many heads turn.

Create layers with sweaters and vests for your morning looks...

Or just wear it around your waist...Looks so cool with a bomber jacket.

Who said that you can't match it with more plaid? There are no rules. Use different colors and patterns and style your shirt with a plaid jacket or skirt and create a very bold outfit. Also match it with a very formal skirt in order to look effortless and chic.

No matter what your style is, there is one shirt for you out there. Here are some of my favorites.

Androgynous...out of the box

The androgynous look with a little twist. Instead of wearing my classic white shirt (which every woman should have in her closet) with a pair of tuxedo pants, I preferred a salopette in black color. I completed my look with the ugly shoes we love to wear...my Birkenstocks. I know men hate them but we can't help wearing them all day long. 

I kept my makeup and accessories clean and simple (only used an eyeliner and red lipstic and 2 hand cuffs in gold and silver).

Back to work

Back to the city and back to work. Since Summer is still here, instead of a classic suit that consists of a pencil skirt and a blazer try a different version using denim. A denim midi skirt and a shirt will instantly make you look chic and fashionforward. In my opinion, when you wear denim overalls try the bottom to be darker than the top. This look can easily be transformed in an evening outfit by adding some bold accessories like an ear cuff and a different pair of shoes.

Here I am wearing Stradivarius denim shirt, ZARA denim pencil skirt, ZARA pointy heels and ear cuff, Asos rings and Essie "795 Love and Acceptance" nail polish.

This is what I wore with my new strappy sandals a few days ago. A rather androgynous look with some colorblocking elements perfect from day to night.

I wish that title was true! I guess a Paris inspired wall is all the travel I'll be having this weekend!
