Good day, my fellow Fashionistas and Fashionistos! Summer here in the Midwest has been one for the record books. The temperature starts off high in the 90s and will cool off into the 60s in the evening. As you can imagine, it is pretty difficult to dress for the entire day here in central Illinois. That is why the plaid, long sleeve button-down is one of the most crucial pieces in a Fashionista’s closet.
The greatest aspect of the plaid shirt is that its versatility knows no bounds. Fashionistas can wear the plaid shirt in any season and it can be used in any style, from punk rock to preppy-chic. The Fashionista captured above chose to go for a cool girl, edgy-chic look. She rocks her plaid shirt through casual layering, allowing her to show off the detail in the white chiffon top. She adds a pair of light denim shorts and sandals that are perfect for that casual day of running errands. If the weather is a bit cooler, opting for cropped denim pants would also work. Adding awesome accessories like her black fedora, zipper stud earrings, leaf necklace and cat eye sunglasses evokes edgy-chic vibes.
Remember, plaid is one of the most diverse patterns. Play around with it this summer to awaken all new aspects of your wardrobe!
