Hang On—Could This Contrasting Style Technique Be Fall's Upcoming Major Trend?

      Mixing and matching prints is not a novel idea. I've noticed stripes and polka dots paired together in outfits on numerous occasions, but that's not the trend I'm referring to. I'm talking about the print-mixing technique that Zoe Saldaña showcased in Paris during the launch of RH Paris's The Gallery on the Champs-Élysées. The approach? Combining her neutral plaid button-down with a red plaid jacket from Saint Laurent. Two distinct plaids, one cohesive outfit. She complemented her contrasting Saint Laurent plaids with a dark green velvet pencil skirt and knee-high leather boots, creating an incredibly chic ensemble despite the conflicting patterns.

      If someone had mentioned this styling trick to me a year ago, I would have regarded it with skepticism. However, plaid is already prevalent this fall, with fashion enthusiasts sporting plaid trench coats (thanks to The Row), plaid skirts, and, of course, plaid button-downs. To be honest, I had never considered mixing various plaid prints until I saw Saldaña’s stylish look in Paris. While this styling method might feel daunting for some, I recommend toning it down by using checks within the same color palette for a more understated effect.

      If you’re a plaid enthusiast and want to replicate Saldaña's stylish technique, continue scrolling to mimic her look and shop for chic plaid pieces to mix and match this fall.
