1.) How the celebs wore it:
2.) How it was presented at the Fall '08 RTW shows:
Plaid is not really something new but beside the classy lumberjack chemises there's also great outerwear in various colors and shapes. At the Fall 2008 RTW Shows many designers showed how interesting a coat or jacket with a plaid pattern could be.
Since I saw Alexa Chung wearing a tartan coat a few months ago I want one like hers. Unexpectedly I spotted a similar one like Alexa's at Zara when I visited my sister last time in Hannover. It was even on sale so I was very glad but when I tried it on it was ( of course) too big and strangely cut.
I think plaid coats make an awesome alternative to unicolored ones if they aren't that bright (as seen on Rihanna). Anyway I prefer a simple grey or black coat because it goes with everything and looks always good.
Now here's the turn: I saw another one which would be perfect for the transition period. I'm still thinking about getting it. Actually it's a bit too big but it has anyway a very wide cut. Still unsure and hope it will be on sale soon since this would make my decision a lot easier ☺.
Here in Germany you can't have enough coats. Last week we had snow and -8°C...!
Should I get it? And what do you think in general about plaid coats?
P.S. Thanks for your advices about getting the patent shopper or not. I did not - even if I love it and still think about it - because it was so huge that it looked already absurd. That's the con of pics: You can never say how big the bag really is in reality!
Have a nice weekend

I love the checked Rihanna's dress it's so cute. And the whole D&G collection is just awesome :)
Alexa looks he best, i love plaid.
Great post. I think Lauren wears it really well. It suits her style.
oh how i love plaid! especially on shirts. but it looks really cute on coats!
p.s. love the oufit you put together in the previous post!
alexas style is the best!!!!would you like to exchange links???
hm, so viel kariert..
aber karos sind einfach eins der muster, die nicht viel brauchen um "komplett" auszusehen: karohemnd, leggins oder jeans, vielleicht noch eine pelzmütze schuhe und voilà.
danke auch für deinen kommentar, das kleid ist schockierend gucci-esque, oder?

und nächstes mal auch noch mit rechtschreibung und zeichensetzung. ;)
I really like plaid coats to be honest. especially yellow plaid...although i don't know why
I love plaid coats - although I'm agreeing that they shouldn't be in crazy bright colours. They can be pretty. I'd go for it if you want one!
I love Rihanna's!
I like the way Nicole Richie wears them.
Plaid coats totally bright up the outfit. You should get one if you want to. Coats are never too much like you said :)
Ooh, I love all of these together. Plaid is fantastic, in all its forms including coats.
I love the plaid coat Rhianna is wearing. Patterned coats always look great =D
I love the way Alexa Chung wear it !! I think you should buy one ! This is beautiful. ;)
xoxo
love plaid, makes me think of warm and winter
alexa rocks it and rihanna too
great post
like your blog
*bisous*
Some pretty fantastic pieces shown here... I'm such a fan of the plaid brigade.
And I love this, "Classy lumberjack chemises."... right on.

I think plaid looks great - if it's in a more tailored form like on the runways. The slouchy look that most of the celebs are wearing is a bit too hobo for me, or at least should be minimized to a scarf. You should totally get the jacket!!
Love the plaids, you definitely should buy one !
ooo i love all things plaid, and the latest plaid coats i've seen are absolutely gorgeous. I just discovered your blog and it's really wonderful! =) am really enjoying reading your past posts... Hope we can exchange links! I've added you to my blogroll. =) Thank you~
unfortunately every beautiful coat isn't warm :(
I adore plaid!!!!!
Lovin Alexa's coat - I really want an oversized plaid trench

I do not like plaid. Although I had a bunch when I was in high school due to the bried grunge trend in the 90s(hello plaid shirts with hoop earings!).
That said, I don't dislike these coats (I agree that Rhianna's is the best one!), but I don't really like them either. I could see the right color combination growing on me...maybe...
nice blog:)
Love Alexa's outfit! She is so fresh! xx
plaid always comes back.for a good reason!
