Must-Have Fall Prints: Plaid

Plaid Pencil Skirt

Plaid Pencil Skirt by theclosetbychristie featuring mustard yellow tops

One of the biggest prints for this Fall 2013 season is plaid. This print is the epitome of sophistication! It’s a classic pattern that keeps making its way back into your closet year after year. It’s the academic-inspired print and the darker hues that give this style a true Autumn vibe. With it continuing to come to the forefront, plaid has become a timeless staple in your Fall wardrobe. Whether it be a plaid coat, hat, skirt, or even a turtleneck- this is a must-have look to embrace!
In the above set, I featured a burgundy Clements Ribeiro plaid pencil skirt. I love this skirt because of the feminine silhouette and classic print. It’s so versatile and can be paired with many different color palettes. I really like it with the mustard, tan, and brown palette that I incorporated in my look above. I paired the skirt with a mustard Paul Smith cashmere rolled-neck sweater and tan J.Crew classic-cut wool blazer. I accessorized with tan Rag & Bone suede ankle boots and Givenchy paisley print and leather handbag. These items and the color palette all contribute to giving this look an equestrian style. For jewelry, I chose a Marni crystal and stone flower necklace and Marni stone drop earrings.
