101 Examples of Plaid Hipster Fashion

From Plum Pleated Skirts to Debonair Suiting Campaigns

— August 19, 2012 — Fashion
These examples of plaid hipster fashion cover an array of styles and seasons. Featuring some gorgeous checkered fabrics and some interestingly designed looks, these totally hipster gingham looks are both modern and a throwback to a more retro time.

Whether it is a classic look remade with checks or a more modern style that features some offbeat versions of the Scottish print, the plaid look is most definitely back and here to stay. Plaid hipster fashion has overtaken the runway, collections and street fashion. Whether you live in a big city or the rural outback, you shouldn't be stranger to wearing -- or at least seeing -- some of this picnic blanket-inspired look.

Whether seen in camera cases, sneakers, button downs or trousers, the plaid look comes in a variety of shapes, styles and gender options.
