Once in a while, a trend appears on the runway, trickles down to your local mall, and then lodges itself firmly inside your brain. Now Trending is our weekly roundup of where to buy that look that’s been haunting you.
Normally when plaid is “back,” it means an influx of Vivienne Westwood–esque tartan or cozy flannels. Both are great — but fall 2017 has one more: Glen plaid, also known as Prince of Wales check. A demure, neutral plaid that’s perhaps best associated with the bankers in Mary Poppins, it made a comeback at the fall 2017 runway shows. Balenciaga used it in capes; Calvin Klein included it in plastic-wrapped coats. Finally, a Demna- and Raf-approved trend that’s work-appropriate! Shop our picks below.
