Plaid Please! – The essential check shirt
Checking out what was in the shops yesterday, i got caught up in a sea of lumberjack shirts. Clashing Pink and yellow, classic red and blue, cheesecloth or roll up sleeves – which to choose? Anyone would have thought it was festival season…
So before i filled up my ever bulging wardrobe, i paused to do the responsible thing of checking how many i actually already had stashed away. Good job too. See above – raiding the wardrobe reaped a huge bounty of not one, but FOUR vintage plaid treasures.
Between the stores being filled with them and my subconscious squirrel like behaviour, this staple, (just like the humble T-shirt and mini) is yet another you really, should never underestimate. Make sure it’s big, make sure it’s baggy – just make sure your collection never fails to grow.
Having shared my compulsive hoarding tendencies for the love of a lumberjack shirt (and a lumberjack himself wouldn’t go a miss too), i put it to you – how many prize plaids are you stockpiling?
LOVE your blog and the heads up on fashion trends.
Wonder how long it will take to catch on in the US.
Thank you so much! That’s lovely to hear and fingers crossed for the U.S! x
What are the brands of these shirts so I can find some of my own?
Sorry for the mahhhhasssive delay in coming back to you. Some are vintage Wrangler, but they’re all vintage. Have a peep in your local vintage or charity shop. Hope you find some good ones 🙂
