Plaid is about as “basic girl in fall” as pumpkin spiced lattes and Instagramming photos of leaves.
But there is a reason this pattern is so popular among Fashionistas—and it isn’t just because it garners a lot of double taps. Plaid is super versatile and one pattern that you can incorporate into your wardrobe regardless of your personal style.
Consider yourself a grunge babe? The flannel around your waist is totally calling your name. More of a preppy lady? I see that plaid scarf you have paired with your riding boots.
Check out (see what I did there?) these 11 images captured by our CollegeFashionista Style Gurus that show when it comes to fashion, plaid is anything but basic this fall.
