If there’s a single print synonymous with fall, it’s plaid. From plaid jackets (who could forget Kate Moss’s plaid Bottega Veneta shacket and baggy jeans combination at the brand’s SS23 runway show?) to, in this case, a perfect plaid skirt, expect to see the preppy pattern more this season than ever before. During New York and Milan Fashion Weeks this year, the street-style set also showed up and out in their preppy plaid skirt outfits, pairing the staple with everything from structured blazers to crisp button-up shirts. While a perennial fall trend, plaid skirts got a special shout-out on the FW22 runways, with designers like Burberry, Gucci, Marine Serre, and Off-White all taking their spin on the style. With silhouettes ranging from ultra miniskirts to midi skirts, a plaid skirt is the perfect wardrobe foundation for all of your other fall wardrobe essentials to shine, like a cozy cashmere sweater or a suede fall boot.
Beyond classic red plaids, there are green- and blue-hued plaids from Miu Miu and Shrimps, reminiscent of prepster school uniforms, and black-and-yellow plaids in that iconic Clueless style. For the fearless fashionista, unique takes from Andersson Bell and Chopova Lowena are statement-making in and of themselves. Autumnal brown plaid skirts from Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren pair exceptionally well with a stompy lug-sole boot or a chunky cardigan. Style plaid miniskirts from Acne, Alessandra Rich, and See By Chloé with a sweet pair of ballet flats. Kilt-like skirts from Burberry and Marine Serre will transport you straight to the Scottish Highlands.
No matter how you choose to style your plaid skirt outfits this fall, there is no doubt that any of these preppy plaid skirts will shine. Below, shop our edit of 26 plaid skirts to star front and center in your fall wardrobe.
