A Play on Plaid for Fall - Fashion Thursday

It's Eva & Paul's favorite time of year again - we've been patiently waiting for cool breezes, long walks, and most importantly, fall fashion!

Plaid is trending again and we're especially excited because plaid makes a perfect pairing with denim. Last fall, we saw many too-boxy looks that cover up figures and widen body frames - not at all our favorite. This year, we decided to hunt for new, sleek designs that show off jeans and flatter figures rather than hide them. 

Here are a few designs we thought might inspire your search for finding a fitted plaid look - elegant silhouettes for all of you plaid lovers out there. These brands make the play on plaid a little more fun!

Vivienne Westwood's 'Windmill Jacket' offers a more fitted and demure take on big plaid. Hitting right at the waist, you'll show off your curves while keeping your look's sophistication. The best part of this jacket is that you can wear it two ways - with the collars flared up or down.

If you like zippers and leather, then Junya Watanabe's 'Notched Collar Jacket' is the perfect balance of plaid. This jacket is slightly edgier with a city flair - fashionable to hit the streets.

Sometimes, a gal just needs a lot of pockets. It helps when jackets are both functional and fashionable.  Smythe's 'Boucle Jacket in Navy/Splice Plaid' has many pockets for all of your city essentials: Metro card, lip gloss, i-phone and keys. We particularly like the 3/4 sleeves for extra freedom to move!
