Get The Look
Plaid Tidings
No wardrobe is complete this autumn without a few cheeky checks. From punk-style tartans to 60s inspired houndstooth, there's a plaid for every personality.
Funk up with a punky red tartan mini with black tights and knee high boots or team with ripped jeans and a rock slogan vest. For more lady-of-the-manor country charm, wear wide-leg 40s style palazzo trousers in a subtle brown check with a chunky cableknit and tan brogues. And if 60s swing is your thing, invest in a Mary Quant style black and white houndstooth check dress or swing coat and accessorise with plenty of attitude.
