Plaid About It
It’s a mad, mad world, and a great way to overcome it is with
plaid. The exuberant pattern has long been part of fashion’s
vernacular, seeing itself in varying degrees on the runways season
after season—especially at Burberry, its grandest proponent.
But for fall 2020, other labels took the ubiquitous motif for a
spin, casting it onto pieces that exemplify each of their aesthetics.
Marine Serre featured it on framed double-breasted coats
over a bodysuit, Celine had it on cool capes, Maison Margiela
added a woolly lining, Proenza Schouler went for edgy peacoats,
Chloé stuck to the ’70s, and Victoria Beckham opted for sleek
day dresses covered in the print. There is dynamism attached
to wearing plaid that isn’t as flamboyant as other prints. And in
troublesome times, we could use some of that energy.
