Trend Talk - Preppy Plaid

Okay, I'll admit it: I'm a prep at heart! Throw me a blazer and any combination, and I'll start to go crazy. While 'prep' usually has me thinking up images of dorky girls in knee socks, modern takes on preppy styles, like plaid, are adding an air of cool to tradition:Kat de Luna and Eva Pigford rock plaid in colorful dresses topped off with pretty pumps or ankle boots......with or without tights.

Rihanna and Rachel Roy pump up the volume in all plaid coats......adding belts to create an hourglass shape.

Christina Milian offers just a dash of plaid in a yellow cap... And Kimora (and kids) go super traditional and super cute in Burberry.... Even men get in on the action.......in blazers, caps, and simple shirts.
