Country chic skipped into many a winter wardrobe this year, with plaids being a major element. A successor to the lumberjack trend that swept through the earlier part of the year, plaid as one of the big Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2008/2009 fashion trends is much more demure.

What is it?
Plaid patterns on anything from jackets to skirts to blouses and tights. Rather than the traditional red tartans, 2009′s plaid embraces a palette of muted greys, blues, greens and browns. British country styles are the underlying influence.
How to wear it
Find interesting variations on check patterns and plaids; if you want to play it safe stick to a single plaid piece per outfit; if you’re more daring try different pieces in mis-matching plaid and tartan patterns.
