“It’s preppy, it’s pretty, it’s practical…” – Sammy Davis, A New Mode

When we think of plaid – checkered, tartan, traditional or hipster, we think bold, confident and pretty! Here at Girls Dress Shop we’re excited to share with you a selection of our best plaid pieces in our Mad for Plaid Collection.

Although plaid is popular in the fall, it is considered to be the most universal of patterns in modern day fashion. Plaid isn’t anything new to us, as we’ve seen it used for the styling of many iconic girls in pop culture, from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen on the set of Full House to Alicia Silverstone on Clueless. Take a look below at some of our favorite girls sporting their plaid patterns throughout the years, and make sure your little fashionista claims her spot in the history of plaid and send us your photos using #GDSGirlTalk on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!
