How to Wear a Plaid Skirt

Take a couple preppy staples — like a white collared button-down and plaid skirt — and give them a cool military vibe with a dark green jacket. Here's a styling trick: tuck the blouse in, leave the jacket unbuttoned, then cinch the look with a black leather belt. It will look laid-back and unfussy while giving a nod to Fall's utilitarian trend.
