Normally Modest Plaid Shirt Guns for the Spotlight
By Jackie Burns, MSN Shopping Contributor
Be prepared to see plenty of plaid this fall as the normally modest patterned cloth appears to be gunning for the spotlight. "It's all about the plaid shirt," says Toronto stylist Joan Cordoba-Petraglia. "The plaid that's coming back in is the lumber jack look from the 80s." Finally, all of Mary-Kate Olsen's hard work has paid off! Although, the grunge-loving fashion designer can't take all the credit for the latest trend. For the most part, we have a deflated economy to thank (or blame) for the movement. Plaid shirts represent a strong work ethic and during periods of high unemployment, we are desperate to appear ready and willing to work at a moment's notice! (Although, the last I checked the criteria for EI didn't extend to wardrobe choices.) There are several variations this fall on the standard plaid shirt including plenty of ruffles, says Cordoba-Petraglia. She says women can also have fun with the look by pairing up the shirt with a pencil skirt, some blingy jewelry, a status bag and trendy sunglasses. "It totally dresses it up," she says.
Plaid: love it or hate it?

If only this looked less stupid! Plaid should be thrown out the window, along with Uggs, those disgusting hair "bumps", 3/4 leggings and play-mate blonde bottle dye. It's just ugly!

Canadian women don't have a clue how to dress, thet are always five years behind Europe, and Asia. Fashion is a scam anyway.
