Even though this trend is mostly left in the fall, many people are still wearing my least favorite print. I'll say it proudly- I hate plaid. It's a hideous print that is only thought to be "stylish" becuase it's trendy and is considered grungy, edgy, and rock 'n roll. I'll never be caught dead in a plaid flannel or skirt- and hold me to that.
It's easy to see MK in an over-sized flannel and then pick one up yourself to wear with leggings. No stylish thought has gone into wearing just that, and it truly bothers me that someone wearing tights and a plaid shirt is thought to be stylish. Not saying that a stylish person cannot wear a plaid shirt; that's absolutely false. It's the idea that following an overdone trend automatically makes a person "stylish" when all they are doing is conforming and doing the complete opposite of being stylishly creative. I think wearing plaid in your own way, adding your own personal style to it, is wonderful, just as taking any item of clothing and styling it personally is fantastic. Obviously, this isn't about only plaid. It's all of the cliche trends. That's what fashion is about- taking something that calls to you, even let it be "trendy," and making it into your own creative piece using your own personal creativity. That is why I love fashion, not for the anorexic robots following a model's every sluggish and trendy move. Trendy, trendy, trendy. Not fashion.

Um, did I write this? No, actually I do not hate plaid. But I completely understand what you mean by this. If you follow a trend, you are considered "stylish." And if you do your own thing, people don't respond well to it.
And yes, people who have their own style can take something that everyone wears and make it their own. Those people are truly stylish in my opinion
I am not very fond of plaid. Seems too high school or grungy or lumberjack for me. But maybe it works for some people. Oh wait, I have some red plaid pjs. But I don't wear them out of the house!
Plaid is usually not print
and of course it depends on who wears it and how
Most of those (Mary-Kate etc) aren't really good fashion icons (lolz)
