well a fall fashion trend this season is
all about mixing plaids and patterns and
it may sound like mixing oil with water
but local for style editor John Jordan
is here to help us get the right look
and of course we have with us our kind
of people's and Michelle Oliver
to show you how this could work now John
let's start with plaid pattern so one
embrace plant okay we don't want to see
it as specific I went on a plaid Patrol
that's alliteration at Macy's Somerset
yesterday and I want to just start over
here this is classic plan okay but you
can see how the scale is different you
can wear those two things together okay
I like those so if you're a little bit
more on the conservative side you don't
necessarily have to put a pattern on top
of a pattern you can break it up we're a
bag with a shoe okay and then you can
see here as we travel down the plaid
trail all of these things can go
together it's just about staying in the
same color family and then adjusting the
scale okay so great let's start with
Kailah okay would you put with her out
so leopard print
I picked this big oversized scarf cape
whatever you want it to be because you
have the fine leopard print and then you
have the bold plaid and what what I
really like about this is that it's it's
plaid on one side and then it already
has an integrated stripe into it very
nice okay okay we're gonna let's see how
what how would you work these same
patterns with Michelle this is the exact
same scarf in a different color scheme
so let's give that to Michelle and she
can rock the navy and kind of take a
summery dress but make it you know more
fall appropriate hmm okay yeah look at
Kevin Michelle there you go
I see how that works because here we're
in this weird phase right now with the
weather we're one minute it's cold one
minute it's hot and sometimes you might
have like a light dress on but you want
something to wear over it that'll keep
you warm but still looks fashion-forward
at the same time right exactly alright
so let's go back to this lovely shoe
that we
this would be awesome with what you're
wearing
it's a summery dress but this shoe
totally works you could throw a blazer
on over this and just get a little bit
more mileage out of it so I think really
well what the what the biggest lesson
here is is don't look at plaid as
something that's specific that's scary
that you should be intimidated by work
it into leopard print floral stripes
stay in the color family let one pattern
be bold let the other pattern be fine
are you all down with this oh yeah I
love this and this is what would be mine
right this is what you would suggest for
me to wear with my outfit yeah and there
but there are all kinds of ways to do it
so you know the point is to be creative
dive into it you can always scale it
back but you have to go there first
I think go for it it can just be it
could be fun yes this is mine that is
suggested for me you like it I think
these shoes are amazing you showed me
these earlier I feel like I would wear
these with all kinds of different
outfits well look at the shoe - I mean
okay so that's that's technically you
know maybe what you would call a winter
fabric this is a fall shoe but because
it's strappy you know you can't do that
every single month of the year you know
I get it because I was always taught to
you just wear one pattern and go with
that but if you're gonna have a starring
pattern and then a support that's cool
too ladies thank you John Jordan great
suggestions they sent over to you
