Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of plaid shirts around – on people and at retail.  It’s kind of unexpected – you know, plaid seems very L.L. Bean or farmer… but somehow it’s making a very cool comeback with the fashionable.

Charlize is wearing hers with skinny black jeans and some fabulous heels:

Lauren is also wearing skinny jeans, some platform heels, a giant bag and a gorgeous David Yurman ring:

Chances are you have a few pairs of skinny jeans and plenty of cool shoes, so all you need to get the look is a plaid shirt!
