Plaid is front and center for fall fashion and it seems bigger is better but for me, I'd rather leave it to the school marms and kids in uniform. I find plaid to be unflattering in most cases and best in small (make that VERY small doses). 
If you must plaid, this Derek Lam Plaid Taffeta Blouse below is an elegant way to play up to the season's hottest trend without being victimized in the process. Wear it with a solid wide legged pant or pencil skirt. Plaid on plaid from head to toe is never a good look, it's a total mess actually. What do you think? Are you mad for plaid?
No, not mad for plaid!
