The Good, the Plaid, and the Ugly

Speaking of plaid. It's that fall time of year again when everyone starts talking about the imminent return of plaid.

It's a fine line.

I love Chanel's meticulous plaids. They are always careful to balance the pattern with the distinctive design of the item and its silhouette. These boots have such class and remain completely modern. As close as plaid gets to elegance.


And here's Kristen Stewart's casual plaid with its anti-bling integrity.


Contrast Kristen with Shia, lost and confused in airport security, making his plaid choice look like a desperate cry for taste.


And Beckham as the anti-matter to Shia's street filth.


So there!
