If you plan on going whole hog or if you plan on trying it in small doses, below are some looks and tips on how to wear plaid. Despite its very particular patterning, plaid is quite versatile. I am certainly not trying to convince you to wear plaid through this post, but, if you think about it, there are a lot of ways to embrace this trend. From lumberjack style to parochial school uniforms, uptight librarians to liberal 90’s grunge, a lot of what people feel about plaid seems to have a lot to do with their history to it and how they see it being worn. I think a person’s feeling about plaid depends on their relationship to it. People either love plaid or hate it, there seems to be no in-between, sort of like cilantro. After polling others on my Facebook Page, it seems I am not alone. Plaid may just be too linear and constrained. The only somewhat logical reason I can come up with is I tend to prefer my patterns and prints to move in a more organic and unstructured manner. Seriously, we get it, plaid is hot for fall, but must it be draped on anything that can stand still? I was in one store last week and I wasn’t sure if I accidentally stepped into a meeting of the NY chapter of the International Bagpipe Organization. If your guests make requests, some Taskers may accommodate these and perform them.Have you been in a department store lately? Plaid is everywhere. They can do the contracted songs at the appropriate times, but they may take short breaks between songs to catch their breath. They can tune the bagpipe on-site before their performance.
