The semester may be coming to a close, but your fashion doesn’t have to. Accessories to keep you warm during the holiday season are what keep winter wardrobes up to trend. This look is no exception to this trend.
Dark wash jeans and a sweater are staples in any woman’s winter wardrobe, but how do you turn this basic combo from drab to fab? Meet your new best friend, plaid! Many people underestimate the use of a simple accessory with a print to offset a simple ensemble. However, if you think of the pants and top as a “backdrop” and the accessories as the “showcase”, it’s a simple concept! A quick way to change any outfit you’ve worn before is to change an accessory; adding a pop of color or print create different finished looks. Many designers use this strategy to transform outfits on the runway and at photoshoots.
In this case, the denim and cream “backdrop” are simple and allow the plaid scarf to take center stage to transform the look. Plaid is a particular style staple for the fall and winter months because of its’ versatility. Not only does plaid evoke a warm tone, the rich colors typically used in plaid are seasonally appropriate. Warm oxblood reds and rich emerald greens paired with neutral gold and cream tones are the perfect pairings for the holidays. Throw on your favorite booties and your look is complete!
