When it comes to classic fall pieces and wardrobe staples,
that one piece in hand, endless possibilities ahead vintage plaid shirt is truly an essential buy.
If you feel like you're missing one in your closet, welcome to take a look around here
Even the most ordinary shirt can be styled to showcase your own unique personal taste!
Let's check it out together～
▼Plaid Shirt Solo, Simple & Casual▼
This is quite the basic lazy girl styling method.
Pair it appropriately with shoes, bags, and accessories to complete the details.
Adjust color coordination and control body proportions.
Even simple outfits can look polished and interesting.
Soshi members Seohyun and Soo Young are indeed long-legged celebrities out of reach for us regular folks,
but their styling can still serve as inspiration! 
Seohyun pairs a camel-toned bag and camel-colored ankle boots with jeans and plaid to bring out a retro vibe.
It inevitably brings to mind a certain song about cowboys being busy…
Soo Young is so slim she looks like she might blow away in the slightest breeze.
She uses the black and red from the shirt as the main axis, pairing them with a vibrant red clutch and other black pieces.
Simple color coordination and undeniable body proportions complete Soo Young's fashion sense.

Creating a simple plaid couple look with your significant other is also quite effortless and elegant! 
▼Layered with a T-shirt, Layering for Early Fall▼
A simple white tee or understated light-colored top
paired with a universally flattering pair of jeans
this safe bet never fails.
It can be high-waisted denim shorts or distressed washed-out long pants.
When the autumn breeze picks up, the plaid shirt serves both as a lightweight jacket and a style statement.
Apink's Eunji and Naeun, along with SISTAR's Paula, demonstrate the look as follows:
▼Skirt Look, Subtle Feminine Charm▼
If you don't want to dress too androgynously,
then different types of skirts can bring out different levels of femininity.
A cami dress paired with canvas bags and canvas shoes or chunky casual sneakers—
for college girls who overslept and are rushing to their 8 a.m. class, let's go! 
SnowWhite Yoona pairs it with a basic tee, cardigan, and pencil skirt—
this is what graceful elegance looks like!
Or create a youthful schoolgirl vibe with the currently trending pleated tennis skirt in Korea! 
▼Fall/Winter Warmth with Style▼
Besides layering with simple solid-colored tees,
as temperatures drop,
you can wear a longer plaid shirt with thicker fabric directly as an outer layer for warmth.
Especially when wearing a knee-length shirt,
the way the hem billows in the wind as you walk has an undeniable presence!
Adding layers over the shirt is also a great option.
A leather vest or leather jacket is quite edgy,
but do make sure the additional pieces' colors reflect the plaid's main color palette.
Like the person on the left in the photo below who claims to be a Rocker, singer Jung Jungyeong,
reverses the look by wearing the plaid shirt underneath a solid knit sweater.
It's warm, stylish, and has a very British vibe.
(Though it's unclear how a Rocker can look so awkward and adorable at the same time XD)
A sweater in the same color family as the shirt works well, or if you want something more vibrant, contrasting colors also look great.
Either way, remember to always fold out and tidy the collar!
Pair it with a cardigan and a solid-colored short skirt
and you instantly create another youthful schoolgirl vibe.
It can also be the standard BFF uniform look like this↓
▼Bold & Fierce, I Look Cool No Matter What▼
If you're naturally a walking coat hanger,
someone who looks like you're walking a runway just crossing the street—
a fierce woman in her own right—
then you really do look great in anything.
▼Fashion Accessory▼
Casually tie it around your waist
and let your entire outfit showcase more dimension.
It also achieves the effect of flattering your figure and elongating your proportions.
▼Bonus: Male Celebrity Plaid Fashion!▼
Male model and actor Lee Soo Hyuk shows up with a neat plaid two-for-one combo (don't ask me where that name came from).
If you remove one of these shirts, the overall handsomeness seems to decrease just a tiny bit!
Though Soo Hyuk would probably be devastatingly handsome even in nothing at all. 
As for BIGBANG's leader GD's fashion sense, there's really no need to explain.
This man has reached the highest pinnacle of digesting all kinds of styles—truly unparalleled and impeccable.
I don't feel I can say much more.
There are probably very few people who can effortlessly rock two different plaid shirts at the same time like these two seniors.
Friends, why not make up your mind and try this aura-radiating styling method～
Final style reminders:
-
Plaid shirts suitable for fall/winter come in colors like wine red, red and black, navy, black and white
-
Other pieces besides the shirt should be in black, white, or a color matching the plaid
So go ahead and rummage through your closet for old pieces,
give old clothes new life, mixing vintage with fresh combinations.
Style your own retro plaid look with one classic plaid shirt～
