How to Wear Buffalo Plaid

Plaid's everywhere (and we love it!), but we especially heart the buffalo plaid print. So what exactly is buffalo plaid, you ask? It's that fun checkered print you're seeing everywhere...on shirts, scarves, hats and more. It's more formally defined as a broad checkered plaid pattern usually of two colors, but you can definitely find pieces that incorporate a rainbow of colors. Don't be afraid to mix buffalo plaid with other types of prints!

How to Wear Lace Tights

Don't tuck your skirts and shorts away just because it's cold outside. Your legs still need to breathe and lace tights are the perfect way to let them! Wearing all black, lace is tights a great way to break up the monotony. Even if you're wearing knee boots, a small hint of lace will add texture to your outfit. We're highlighting black lace tights in the sets below, but they also look great in other colors like red, navy blue, pink and brown.

How to Wear Watch Necklaces

The best way to make sure time is on your side is to wear it. Watch necklaces are a great way to add vintage flavor to your outfit. They're practical and they come in all sorts of shapes from the classic round face to hearts and stars and even guitars! (Look at that, I rhymed.) Don't sleep on this trend, or you might be late...for everything!

How to Wear TOMS

TOMS shoes first became popular back in 2006, but they're still going strong for 3 reasons: comfort, uniqueness and a great cause. These Argentine-inspired shoes are composed of a lightweight material and come in different colors and cool patterns. But what makes TOMS so inspiring to wear is that for every pair you purchase, the company also gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. Feel good about wearing your TOMS!
