Choosing the perfect outfit for holiday gatherings can be tough sometimes. Depending on the company you keep, a get-together could range from casual to full-on Christmas glam. How do you stay festive when you're trying to keep things relaxed? The answer is: Plaid.
Plaid is the perfect pattern for the winter holiday season. I'm head-over-heels in love with the patterned plaid jacket that Kim Kardashian wore to help out at the Los Angeles Mission serving Thanksgiving dinner last weekend.
I love the look mostly because it's a bold statement, but a comfy one, too. The only problem? At $375, this Torn by Ronny Kobo Taylor Lumberjack Jacket, though adorable, is just a tad outside of my price range.
Not to fret, though. There are loads of lovely options, starting with this EXACT replica from Piperlime for only $52.99:
This Wool Plaid Jacket ($52.99, Piperlime.com) has a shape that flatters every body type. I love the sherpa lining and cute buttons!
Looking for something with a bit more frills? This Apart Red/Blue Ruffle Tux Shirt ($28.99, O.co) is totally versatile. I could definitely see it paired with a great pair of skinny jeans and riding boots, couldn't you?
Ob. Sessed. This Diamond Quilted Plaid Down Vest ($64.50, LandsEnd.com) is an easy way to jazz up a plain white long sleeve and jeans. The best part? It comes in all sizes: Regular, petite, and plus!
Ponchos are a holiday party-goer's best friend. This Cooperative Hooded Cape Coat ($49.99, UrbanOutfitters.com) is totally trendy, and a secret way to hide the food baby from one-too-many hors d'oeuvres.
I saved my fave for last. This Wanda Long Sleeve Plaid Printed Zip-Up Fleece ($99.50, Macys.com) looks so comfortable that I have a feeling if I owned it, I'd never want to take it off! I love the different size plaids and would pair it with black jeans and boots.
