This month's NYFW shows were loud and clear: plaid (big plaid) is trending high for fall 2014. But there's no reason to wait six months before trying the style. Now is as good a time as any to start working a few pieces into your wardrobe. It's especially easy thanks to the versatility of the print—it can be grunge, woodsy, tartan, or classically chic, all depending on the check's size and the color. And best of all, there's no buyer's remorse knowing that the clothes and accessories will log serious hours from now until the end of the year (and even beyond).
