5 Ways to Style Your Plaid Button-Down Shirt for Fall

A plaid button-down shirt is essential to any woman’s fall wardrobe, and it can be worn on its own as a formal top or used as the perfect base layer to go on top of any shirt or tank top.

This article will show you how to wear your plaid button-down shirt for fall and look stylish while doing it! Whether you're looking for style inspiration or want to know how to wear this piece in the year's cooler months, this guide has everything you need. Let's dive in!

Add a Plaid Button-Down to Your Fall Wardrobe

Plaid button-down shirts are a fall staple. They can be worn in multiple ways, making them easy to layer, dress up or down, and perfect for almost all occasions. Plus, it’s a must-have fashion piece when fall rolls around.

Pair it With a Leather Jacket

This year, add a twist to your plaid shirt look by pairing it with a leather jacket. This is the perfect way to dress up your plaid for fall. The leather jacket has become a trendy part of every woman's wardrobe—for a good reason: it's stylish, comfortable, and versatile!

Not only do they add an edge to any outfit, but they also work better than any other piece of clothing in maintaining our body temperature. They're warm on chilly days but aren't too hot when the sun's out in full force (unlike denim jackets). Plus, they come in almost every shade imaginable, so there’s no need for multiple pieces of outerwear when transitioning from day-to-night activities.

They've become so popular that you can find them at virtually any price point. Since these pieces are relatively inexpensive compared with other coats, you don’t have to spend too much upfront before trying out different colors/styles until finding one that works best for you and your style.

Don't Forget Your Accessories!

Adding accessories is one of the best ways to dress up your plaid button-down shirt. It's easy; throw on some earrings, necklace, or belt, and you’re good to go!

But here’s the catch: not all accessories will work with your look, and you need to make sure that they complement each other and build upon what you already have. Otherwise, your outfit can look too busy or overdone (possibly even tacky).

So how do you know what works? Well…you’ve got options! But we won't get into all of them here—that would be an entire post unto itself—let's just say that there are plenty of different types of accessories out there for every taste and style preference under the sun, so no matter who you are or what kind of look you're going for (casual vs. formal), there's something out there just waiting for someone like you!

Elevate Your Look

If you want to make your next button-down shirt feel a little more formal, try pairing it with a silky tank. The silk is an excellent contrast to the softness of the plaid and makes the look more attractive. Suppose you don't have many tops from which to choose; use your shirt as an opportunity to add a new hue or pattern to your closet. A silk tank top is also an excellent way to show off jewelry because it's light enough that necklaces and earrings will be seen.

Wear it with a Basic Tee Underneath

A basic tee is a great way to add dimension to your outfit without going overboard. If you're wearing a basic tee underneath the plaid, choose one with similar colors in its pattern so that the two pieces blend seamlessly—but still, make sure there's enough contrast between them for visual interest! Your choice of sleeve length depends on whether or not you want to layer your outfit or not.

Fall Wardrobe

Plaid button-down shirts are a classic fall staple. A plaid button-down can be worn with many outfits, from denim and a leather jacket to basic tees and silky tank tops. This classic piece will become a staple in your fall wardrobe no matter how you style your plaid shirt!

These simple tips will help you make the most of this traditional piece, whether for an edgier look or something more tailored.
