Two plus-size models wearing plaid clothing.

Plaid for Fall Doesn’t Have to Be Groundbreaking to Be Cute

Just as florals will—without fail—make an appearance in spring fashion, plaid will always be fall’s favorite print. Sure, animal prints, houndstooth, and the occasional stripe make their homes in autumn, too, but nothing will ever be so quintessentially fall as plaid. It’s nothing new or groundbreaking, but it is pretty damn cute. Thankfully, plus-size plaid clothes abound, so stocking up for the season is as easy as falling into a pile of leaves or ordering a piping hot PSL.

As the temperatures continue to drop and we all suddenly have the urge to remain cute and autumnal at all times, consider plaid your go-to fall uniform. The print comes in plenty of iterations, so whether you’re a fan of the oh-so-trendy blazer dress, trousers that look as good at the office as they do on the weekend, or the effortlessly cool oversized blazer, you’re set. There are plaid versions of every article of clothing you could ever want, so your excuses not to wear the timeless trend this season are extraordinarily minimal. (Sorry not sorry!)

Though plaid can be a bit divisive (Some folks just don’t know a good thing when they see it.), to us, it will always be a fall staple. We’ve found that either people love, love, love plaid—in all seasons, frankly—or refuse to ever purchase or wear an article of plaid clothing in their lifetime. Honestly, we don’t get the latter, but to each their own, right? It won’t stop us from shopping all the plus-size plaid clothes out there this season.

If you, too, share this affinity for all things plaid, keep reading. You’ll find the absolute cutest plus-size plaid clothing the Internet and your favorite brands have to offer right now—so don’t be afraid to add a few pieces to your virtual cart. Just like pumpkin spice and watching Halloweentown on repeat, wearing plaid is a fall tradition we won’t soon end. Long live plaid!
