Although plaid is a very fall/winter based print, there are still some ways you can make it look “summery”. Here’s an outfit from Jack and Jones, Scotch and Soda, and Toms shoes. 

Button downs with a nice crisp tee on the inside can give you that polished but relaxed look- JACK AND JONES BLOCKS L/S SHIRT $55/ JACK AND JONES TOMMY L/S SHIRT $55

Colored denim is a good break from your regular indigo/black pant ensemble. It’s bold, and full of attention, and will always be the hero to a boring outfit. SCOTCH AND SODA COLORED RALSTON $158

These TOMS DESERT BOTAS $95 are the perfect summer/fall shoe. In the summer, you can pair it with a pair of slim cargo shorts or a pair of slim fit chinos, and in the winter you can wear it with denim. It’s a shoe that never goes out of style.

Available at Kits, Metro and Robson.
