The summer plaid clad Amanda Seyfried indicates the return of the fashion fad with the warm weather.  However, you may wonder what the summer plaid is anyway.

Basically, the summer plaid is fancy plaid.

Generally speaking, plaid will make people conjure up the image of rednecks and lesbians. There is no offense to rednecks and lesbians. I don’t want to make up the stereotype. I believe that those generalizations are very silly. Due to these silly generalizations of plaid, people who wear them ,and their place in fashion a bad rep.

It was a different time that the last time was truly socially acceptable to wear plaid, a different decade. By the mid ’90s, Nirvana had everybody on the grunge tip. Darker colors, such as grays, blacks, deep greens, and blues, ruled. But the look has evolved and diversified now.

Last spring, summer plaid paraded down the runway, when Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood, and Michael Kors all did variations of the pattern. The classic check print with lighter colors. New pattern adds flowing fabrics, and different types of cuts than traditional plaid garments.

These new variations make the plaid looks softer, more subtle, yet bold, colorful and prefect for both sexes. And the unisex was also a big thing in the 90s.

I believe that the question is not whether something is in vogue but whether the trend is fit you or not. The plaid is return in fashion now, but I don’t mean that everyone should wear plaid. One has to consider if it suits their style. That is more important.

I’m a plaidholic who love plaid crazily. I like the simple and tradition style plaid. Yesterday, I found an ED Hardy hat. I believe you may be also like it.
