Angie’s blog post this morning made me realize that I have indulged my fondness for plaid nowhere more than outerwear!

These are my plaid jackets and coats. They range from lightweight spring toppers to wool wintry ones, and span lengths from cropped to long. I really enjoy them for variety and colorful or textural accents to otherwise neutral and/or solid outfits. As I’ve gravitated away from defaulting to solid black coats (although I still own a couple), I have enjoyed these more and more.

I am choosy about color palettes — they tend to be tight as is my wardrobe palette. But many of the picks in Angie’s post today appealed to me, and I find myself very tempted by some of those options (burgundy! teal!), even though I clearly do not need more. LOL

The first Find was my most recent purchase - I got it at Anthro a couple of months ago and it’s not heavy, but it is roomy and I like a light coat that I can layer underneath. I’ve worn it twice since I returned from Europe and it’s cold and snowing right now, but I expect it will get more love on our milder days.

Who else loves plaid outerwear and has a piece…or half a dozen?
