Though definitely a fall favorite, plaid is a wardrobe staple year-round. And while we typically see plaid flannels, mini skirts, and even trousers grace our Instagram feeds in every season, plaid dresses are a bit less pervasive. Why, though? Plus-size plaid dresses are every bit as cute as their fellow plaid counterparts—yet we rarely see them featured in street style photos or on our favorite influencers. Considering how versatile (and comfortable!) plaid dresses are, it’s a huge bummer. Thankfully, though, these frocks abound in our favorite stores—so we’re fully ready to change the game, one plaid dress at a time.
There truly is a plaid dress for everyone, folks. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t often wear dresses (We get it. Leggings are bae.), the pieces on offer these days are cute enough to change anyone’s mind. Plus-size plaid dresses in every style imaginable can be found with just a bit of research—from your favorite flirty minis to chic maxis (and everything in between). So whether you’re a die-hard bodycon wearer or a puff-sleeve fanatic, you can find your ideal plaid dress.
The most fun part about plaid dresses, though? Styling them. Take a plaid mini dress and add your chunkiest sneakers and tiniest sunglasses for an unbeatable weekend look. Or, pair a plaid midi dress with strappy heels and a stack of gold necklaces for date night. Of course, if maxi dresses are more your vibe, you can’t go wrong with a pair of lug-sole booties and a bucket hat. Plaid clothing is as versatile as it is cute. (And that’s saying something.)
So go ahead and add a few plus-size plaid dresses to your wardrobe this season. They look incredible year-round, and there are endless ways to wear them. Frankly, it’s all we could ever want in a dress.
