Get mad for a plaid skirt this fall. And, the style you choose doesn't have to resemble the one you wore in high school.Go for a more grown-up, mature take on this schoolgirl weave.

How to style your plaid skirt?

At the office : Wear your plaid skirt with a black button-down blouse to look stylish at work.

Classic look : If you want a classic look for your red and black plaid skirt, pair it with a white top. When paired with a light neutral shirt, the plaid pattern becomes the focal point of your outfit. If a white top seems too stark with the red and black skirt, choose an off-white shirt in cream or ivory instead.

Casual look : For a casual look, a simple T-shirt or tank top in red or black can work well with your plaid skirt (I have adapted the casual look for this post).Add black wedges or flat boots and you are ready for weekend.

Party look : If you want to wear this skirt out for a party or to a date, pair it with a black camisole or corset style top with lace details and stiletto heels. . If it’s a chilly night, you can add a red or black tailored blazer or leather jacket over the top to keep warm. An off-the-shoulder top in black or red can also give your skirt a sultry look for the evening. Pair it with knee-high black boots and you're ready for an evening out

Style Tip : When you want a chic, understated look, your best option is to draw inspiration from the red and black plaid in your skirt. Stick to red and black pieces for the rest of your outfit so the color palette is limited to two colors.
