Give Your Beige Blazer a Break, Plaid Is the New Neutral
Plaid takes over: Layer, mix textures, and refresh fall style.
Is the “clean girl aesthetic” slowly dying? Don’t get me wrong – I love minimalism, neutral palettes, and fitted basics; it’s effortless and Instagram-ready. But lately, it’s felt too predictable, dare I say… boring. Fashion is meant to be bold, not play it safe. So if the clean girl is packing up her beige blazer, who’s taking her spot? Patterns, textures, and statements, everything. This switch-up has been sneaky – it started with polka dots over the summer, now plaid is having its main character moment.
Here's the thing – you don’t need to ditch your minimalistic staples. I love pairing simple tanks with oversized button-ups and statement necklaces. The balance between effortless and extra keeps things interesting. Layering is your best friend this autumn – throw a lace cami under a slouchy sweater and top it off with a chunky scarf. Instant depth, instant cool.
Your wardrobe doesn't need a makeover; a few standout pieces go a long way. A plaid tote, suede jacket, or bold-colored boots can elevate a basic outfit. I’m currently obsessed with mixed-metal jewelry and standout belts—they make a simple outfit look intentional. The lesson I’m learning: minimalism isn’t dead; it’s just getting a refresh. Fashion is feeling fun again—loud, layered, and exciting.
