Mad for Plaid

Whether you’re hitting a pumpkin patch or out on the town, plaid pants, shirts, and dresses are the way to go. From flannels and cozy sweaters to mini skirts and dresses, all things plaid are here.

Try our Cozy Cabin flannels in bright shades or trendy patchworks layered over your fave basics (or just on their own!). Get ’em in cropped, oversized, and classic fits — the possibilities are endless.

Want even warmer and cozier vibes for colder temps? Throw on an oversized plaid sweater, brushed plaid shacket, or plaid blazer for an on-trend style.

How to Style Plaid Pants & Skirts

We’ve got you covered with of-the-season plaid from head to toe. Our plaid Mom pants and mini skirts are just as comfy as they are cute, and super easy to style. Slip on a plaid mini with a classic button-up for a prep-inspired look or wear with a fitted tee for more casual vibes.

Plaid flare pants pair perfectly with a tucked-in tee or sweater plus your lived-in sneakers for laid-back, effortless style. Try a feminine blouse with plaid pants and a cropped cardi or jacket for a ’fit that is ready for the ’gram. Don’t forget head-turning finishing touches like fall booties and hoop earrings.

Cool with Corduroy

Corduroy is fall’s best friend for all the right reasons — it’s soft, textured, and vintage-inspired. We’ve got corduroy in super-cute tops, dresses, skirts, and pants in muted, goes-with-everything tones and rich fall hues.

Check out our corduroy button-ups in oversized and cropped silhouettes. Wear a cropped corduroy button-up with ’70s-inspired flare jeans for true vintage style, or an oversized shirt over a printed mini dress or on its own with comfy jeans. Try a puff-sleeve shirt for an added romantic touch we love.

What to Wear with Corduroy Pants

Whatever corduroy bottoms you’re wearing, they’ll look amazing with a fitted top, lace-up boots, and a leather belt. Don’t forget cold-weather layers like a reversible bomber (two jackets in one!) or a denim jacket with corduroy deets.
