QUESTION #1: “Can I wear buffalo plaid after Christmas?” The answer is simple, YES! As far as I know there are no fashion rules regarding plaid – but I agree, buffalo plaid often seems synonymous with the holidays. There’s no doubt it makes for great Christmas decor and holiday photos, but buffalo plaid can be worn well beyond the holiday season. It’s one of my favorite prints to wear all winter long! If you’re not into wearing the color red after the holidays, try any of these looks with a black and white buffalo plaid top.
QUESTION #2: “Is buffalo plaid still in style?” As far as I’m concerned, buffalo plaid never goes out of style!
