Regardless of the trends that come & go, I will always have an affinity for classic menswear styles. I think when you mix them with more feminine pieces (like a puff-sleeve sweater and cap toe pumps), it perfectly balances out that “borrowed from the boys” look. Plaid is still going strong this year and there are so many great options hitting stores for the new season, like this double-breasted vest from the latest Who What Wear Collection. Another way I’d style this is over a slim black turtleneck with this belt at the waist to create a flattering silhouette. Other affordable glen plaid styles to check out: this boyfriend blazer, this wrap skirt, this flattering dress (great for the office!) and these ankle trousers.
