1. Blazers
Great with solids, but don't be afraid to mix it with other graphic prints like stripes, polka dots, or animal print.

2. Dresses
A cropped jacket worn over an otherwise shapeless dress helps define your waist without interrupting the fluid line of your outfit.

3. Sweaters
Pullover or cardigan-style, sweaters look especially cozy in plaid — the fuzzier, the better. Just the things to keep you from freezing your ass off while you squeeze the last few wears out of your favorite warm-weather shorts and miniskirts.

4. Pants
Go the sleek and sophisticated route with minimalist two-tone plaid pants, like these, or add more of a punk edge to your look by going full-on tartan.

5. Sets
Wear a matching two-piece co-ord set, or do what this girl did and pair different plaids in the same color combo for a slightly more casual look.

6. Coats
When it's really cold out, your coat is the only part of your outfit that most people see. Who cares if it doesn't go with what you've got on underneath? Button it up and you'll be the chicest person on the street.

7. Accessories
A little bit of plaid can go a long way. It's great on shoes, bags, scarves, whatever. Even sunglasses look cool in plaid. It might not seem practical at first, but if you think about it, plaid never really goes out of style and a nice plaid is about as classic as a print can get.

8. Pencil Skirts
Use a plaid pencil skirt to chic up a cozy weekend sweater or add some personality to a basic work shirt.
Raquel Falomir, Something In the Way
9. T-Shirts
A plaid T-shirt is a great workwear alternative to a button-down blouse. Just make sure the neckline and sleeve cuffs are nicely finished, and stick with woven fabrics and extra thick knits as opposed to jersey.

10. Lightweight Layers
Plaids don't have to be thick and bulky. Lightweight, semi-sheer fabrics show off plaid's subtler, more refined side and are great for layering during these in-between months when it may still be too warm for hefty cotton flannels.
