Check it out! The plaid shirt is back and fashion-forward celebs on both sides of the Atlantic have embraced the look. Kate Bosworth tucked her ruffled version into high-waisted jeans at New York Fashion Week, and Alexa Chung proves that the look can be feminine by wearing hers open, above a LBD. Meanwhile Kate Moss wears hers boy-style with a tailored jacket and over-the-knee boots and Ashley Olsen adds class with a giant luxe Fendi bag and oversized shades. To avoid looking like a lumberjack, pair your checked shirt with a pair of platform heels or girly ballet flats and take a cue from our celebrity trendsetters by glamming up with heavy-weight accessories.
