27 Pieces of Plaid

From Plaid Biker Jackets to Nerdy 90's Grunge

— March 9, 2010 — Fashion
We have all worn an article of plaid clothing at one time or another, whether we'd like to admit it or not.

Yes it's true, alot of it is pretty corny stuff (some much, much worse than others), however every once in awhile you'll find a quality piece of attire that will rank pretty high on the style list. And so, for that reason I present these pieces of plaid because really deep down inside, we all have a secret guilty pleasure for the stuff.
