Plaid Please

Plaid should be your best friend come Fall/Winter. Whether it's in shirts, pants, bags, scarves, whatever, it's all good. And don't be afraid to look a little woodsy, just stay away from anything that makes you look like you just drove a 16 wheeler cross country...

I threw in the skirt because A) Who saw the insane Glee spread this shot originated from? and B) Who doesn't love a good plaid skirt?

SAVE - J. Press for UO Ribbon Belt - $28

J. Press and Urban Outfitters have collaborated on a well edited capsule collection of items fit for the closeted preppy hipster. Slim fitting shirts and pants are simple with clean lines, but the accessories are really the standouts. In particlar, these ribbon belts. As a certified W.A.S.P. myself, I can tell you that colleigiate colored ribbon belts are a necessity, but they also look great with jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of boots. Great for adding some color to your wardrobe, and at $28, I'm getting all 3. Save.

SAVE - Obey Iggy Field Jacket - $158

Military inspired jackets for fall is one trend that I am 100% excited to embrace. One of my style icons, Tomas Maier, has been sporting his Bottega Veneta style for a few seasons now, so the minute I saw a Save Khaki version for $210 at Barneys I snapped it up. The only regret I have is acting too soon, as mine is not nearly substantial or cheap as this Obey Jacket.

I've had a lot of success with Obey in the past. Their wears are simple and stylish and have a quality in design that in no way correlates to their shockingly low prices. This jacket, available through the link above at Urban Outfitters, is a particularly exciting find. Save.
