Plaid dresses seem to be a favorite on the runways this season, Reem Acra, Karen Walker, Emerson and Yves Saint Laurent all showed lovely plaid dresses ranging from fierce to playful. A plaid dress is the perfect way to work a little plaid into your wardrobe this fall, we suggest taking a cue from the Karen Walker fall runway show and going with a monochrome double breasted plaid trench dress. Throw on some simple white pointed pumps and you’ll be good to go, this look is perfection for the office and with some minor adjustments it can also be made perfect for date night. Just swap out those pointed pumps for sexy knee high boots.
