The Best Plaid Fashion Finds For Every Holiday Event

There’s no time of year when traditions are quite as important as they are around the holidays, and that even includes fashion. While we love staying up-to-date with trendy picks, a classic wardrobe is our favorite for holiday gatherings—and wearing plaid is at the top of our list as a stylish holiday tradition we never miss. This year, we’re rounding up the best plaid fashion finds of the season, and we found options for every style and budget. 

Get ready for every event with matching sets, dresses, coats, pants, and sweaters. Many of our picks are versatile enough to last all season, so even after the celebrations end, they’ll be cozy essentials you can keep on repeat in your winter wardrobe.

Nordstrom All in Favor Plaid Crop Jacket

This plaid jacket at Nordstrom is available in a set with a matching skirt that’s perfect for holiday events. Whether you opt for the set or just the jacket, you’ll enjoy its fuzzy material that’s fully lined to stay warm. We love that its vivid red and white plaid are made for the holidays, but if you prefer a more casual style, it also comes in a neutral brown and navy plaid combination that can be a regular wardrobe staple. Pair it with a long-sleeve dress or your favorite wide-leg pants, or add the matching skirt with tights and flats or heels for a more elevated look.

Boden Canonbury Wool Pants

For a high-end look that truly works all season, these wool pants by Boden are our top pick. The green plaid pattern is easy to style with festive colors for holiday events, and you can also wear them with casual outfits or to the office by changing up the accessories. They’re made with a fitted waist and relaxed legs that tighten slightly at the ankle, so you can show off your best shoes while staying comfortable all day. For a holiday party, we recommend adding a green top and gold jewelry to complete the look. 

Imily Bela Plaid Cardigan

This cozy, lightweight cardigan is made of ultra-soft knitted fabric that you’ll want to wear every day. With a mixture of green, black, and white in its plaid pattern, it’s great for holiday occasions and casualwear alike. It hits at the waist for a classic fit, and it can be worn buttoned or unbuttoned with a variety of outfits. Along with this green color scheme, it’s available in options like light brown, gray, and more colorful hues like pink and blue. Pair it with any of your favorite wardrobe combinations: It works with jeans, slacks, and skirts, and it’s still light enough to fit under your winter coat for an extra layer of warmth. 

Banana Republic Factory Plaid Coat

We love peacoats for their timeless look that never goes out of style, and this knee-length plaid coat from Banana Republic Factory is one we’ll be wearing for years to come. It’s designed with a lapel collar and details like epaulettes on the shoulder and each cuff for a pop of texture, and its deep blue color scheme can work with almost every outfit. If you’re looking to make a holiday statement, it also comes in a bright red and white plaid pattern, and it’s even machine-washable for easy care.
