Cheap & Chic: Playful Plaid

By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Bring your plaid top right into summer. The buttoned down ‘90s grunge style takes a country twist on summer vacation. Wear this look on a road trip or a walk through the park. No reason you can’t look cute when you’re trying to be comfortable. Pick up this bright blue version, about $30 at ae.com. Wear it untucked with khaki shorts, about $30 at delias.com and a woven belt, about $9 at forever21.com. It gets dressed up a bit your gold teardrop earrings, about $6 at forever21.com and t-strap sandals, about $50 at endless.com. The entire outfit is just $125.
