If you have to place your bets one print this season, make it plaid. The classic, which can be traced back to the ’90s and cues back-to-school memories, has gotten a whole lot cooler this season. Fashion insiders are taking it to the streets with silhouettes spanning bomber jackets and oversized button-downs – nonchalantly tied around the waist or thrown open with a logo T-shirt peeking through.

Whether you choose to take these pointers from the pavement or prefer to go down the preppy route a la Cher Hororwitz (we’re never getting over that sunshine suit), one thing we know for sure is that the staple is here to stay. Ahead, we’ve pulled together the looks you should be adding to your cart, stat.
