The Plaid + Houndstooth Obsession Continues

Early in the fall I wrote about plaid blazers and why they are at once trending and classic (my favorite combo, like the turtlenecks +hoops I recently posted on).  Judging from the number of women wearing plaid jackets and coats at the recent shows, I see no sign of this idea slowing down. Now, there are lightweight options for spring. Layer them now while it’s still chilly and then pare down with a button-down or plain white T-shirt when it warms up.
