Plaids conjure images of everything from Braveheart to Kurt Cobain and Seattle in the 1990s. No matter what your association with the classic look (perhaps you’re into Scottish kilts and if so, we applaud you), fall is the perfect time to stock up on the go-to pattern to carry you through the colder months. Here are some playful versions of the timeless trend, from flirty minidresses to slouchy overcoats. Bagpipes optional.
