#nylonfw: get the check

There's a reason we've saved all of our old flannels we once "borrowed" our dads, brothers, and ex-boyfriends over the years: plaid shirts are basically perfect. They're comfy, sure, but perhaps more usefully, they go with literally everything.

So it's not that surprising that we can always count on the trusty check to turn up on the runways season after season. For fall '14, the motif gets a twisted revamp courtesy of Rag & Bone's boxy jackets, Calla's belted coats, and Altuzarra's colorblocked fur toppers that had everyone talking (and probably invaded your Instagram feed this weekend).

Then again, you could also go ultra-feminine in Delpozo, sporty with DKNY, or even pile on the patterns a la Creatures of Comfort. Because if there's one thing we know, it's that one piece of plaid is never enough.
