Here's how to wear plaid 6 ways inspired by your favorite celebs.
Now that we're well into Fall, you might be tiring of wearing the same pieces over and over again.

Turning to our celebrity streetstyle stars for inspiration, here are 6 fresh ways to wear plaid right now for fall and winter that will have you excited about this checked print for months to come - plus a few new pieces you'll want to shop, too (everything's under $100)!

1. The Plaid Shirtdress

Try your favorite flannel in dress form like Alessandra Ambrosio. Topped with a fur vest and paired with warm tights and ankle boots, this is a boho look that's practical, feminine and easy to wear for so many occasions.

2. With White Jeans

Give white jeans the "winter" treatment with a cozy plaid shirt. Here Eva Longoria is wearing hers with flip flops but I'd swap them out for tan ankle boots, like this pair (own and LOVE). Add a vest and scarf for added warmth.
