From flowing skirts to flannel shirts, plaid is back in a big way, creating an effortlessly cool and playful trend for spring/summer 2025. Designers and street style enthusiasts alike are embracing layered plaid looks, adding a touch of grunge nostalgia to their wardrobes.
The transition from winter to spring isn't always a breeze, especially when it comes to fashion. The unpredictable weather in the UK, where a sunny picnic day can be followed by a hailstorm, makes layering a necessity. Think jackets over hoodies over shirts, bombers over kilts over trousers. Recently, street style enthusiasts, particularly during Paris and Copenhagen Fashion Week, have been embracing a trend that's both nostalgic and effortlessly cool: plaid and '90s-style flannel.
It's a grungy, laid-back look achieved by throwing layers of plaid together, often with a slightly undone feel. Plaid itself has been making a comeback for a while, appearing in both flowing skirts and classic flannel shirts. During New York Fashion Week last autumn, grunge shirts were everywhere, and UK fashion has seen a resurgence of punk-inspired tartan in recent years. This season, runways have also showcased a more relaxed plaid aesthetic. Designers like Acne Studios, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, and Bottega Veneta have incorporated layered plaid into their spring/summer 2025 collections, often using multiple patterns together, creating looks with plaid shirts and trousers, or shirts layered over jackets. Essentially, the '90s grunge staple—a flannel shirt over ripped jeans—has evolved into a playful plaid explosion for 2025. While we often associate plaid with a casual vibe, it's versatile enough to work for a party, especially when paired with a long skirt or a suit jacket. Or, you can channel the effortless cool of Katie Holmes and embrace a slouchy, grungy aesthetic, just as Kurt Cobain intended.
