STRIPES OR PLAID FOR FALL, WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE
There are a few fashion items that I associate with fall. When I think of fall, I think of suede, boots, rich color hues, and puffer jackets. I also think about wearing stripes or plaid clothing, and I’m styling both of those today. I want to take a poll and see which is your favorite fall print.
Stripes or Plaid – Which is Your Favorite
Stripes for Fall
My first outfit consists of a striped oversized button-down shirt, high waist wide leg jeans, faux suede mules, a triple compartment olive satchel, and an eyelet belt. Everything runs true to size except the button-down striped shirt, and it is very oversized. I’m wearing my usual size medium, and it is too baggy for me. I love the color combination of the shirt, but I recommend sizing down. The high waist wide-leg jeans are fabulous. I’m wearing an 8, and they fit perfectly. The mules have a 3.5″ block heel, and I love the braid detail that goes across the top of the mule. The mules run TTS.

Plaid for Fall
I really need to start reading the descriptions better when I’m ordering clothing. I LOVE the color combination of this plaid button-up flannel shirt, but it swallows me. Whenever you see in the description the words “boyfriend,” that is a clue that the item is going to be relaxed and oversized. I should have sized down to a small instead of my usual medium; instead, I ordered a large! I’m re-ordering this soft shirt before it sells out because it is perfect for fall. The “boyfriend” straight jeans are a tad relaxed, but that is the trend right now. I’m wearing my usual size 8, but if you want a tighter fit, then you will want to size down. These western boots are great for fall since they have a higher shaft. The trend in boots is a western style and a higher shaft, so these check off two of the boxes. I’m wearing the burgundy version in my usual size 9.

I love both of them, they are great options when it’s not cold enough for a sweater.
I have this exact shirt from Old Navy and can’t wait to wear it. Temps are still a little warm, but that’s ok! I’m not a fan of cold weather–just fall clothes.
I have three plaid shirts in my closet, two are flannel. I look like a lumberjack even when I try to “trendy” it up a little. 😉 I do gravitate to vertical stripes all year round though.
I’m definitely in the plaid camp. I like stripes well enough, but they don’t say “fall” to me. Cute outfits!
I love my plaid, although spripes are good as well. I have just taken all my autumn/winter clothes out and found I have only plaid shirts, a wee shopping trip is in order I think.
Love the green bag.
Live plaid for fall, but stripes are easier to dress up.
Both look fantastic on you. Personally, I go for the vertical stripes. I have wide shoulders and large bust. Plaid makes me look like a lumberjack. Lol! Also love the shirt tucked in.
Tania, I really like the stripes. Plaid is nice, but mostly I like it on flannel shirts, or nightgowns. However, this shirt looks so good on you that I think I need to take your lead and try something I have in the past not liked a lot. Maybe you’ll lead me to my next favorite.
Hi Tania … I got a look at your new website and was impressed .. kudos to your web designer! Stripes or plaid ..I love them both.
I’m still having a few issues, Frani. SO, I had to take it back down for a bit.
Like both and if I had to choose, it would be plaid. 🙂
I vote for the plaid shirt but worn with the wide leg jeans and tan footwear.
I love the plaid shirt!
Just wanted to share, I have a couple of the Old Navy flannel shirts. I ordered my usual M and after washing and drying, the fit is perfect.
Fabulous scripture verse! I don’t have striped or plaid tops in my wardrobe because they aren’t my thing, but I like them on other ladies. I think the stripes are more feminine, however if you wanted to wear a plaid shirt as a topper, it is more versatile. Nope, I can’t pick one over the other.
Definitely plaid for fall 🙂
Love the striped version but also would wear a plaid but perhaps in a bolder color. I do prefer a striped shirt though. Do not like boyfriend jeans on myself though but look great on you!
I like the plaid on you better than the stripe. It adds more color. I luv plaids but look terrible in them. The stripe is dressier.
I really love the plaid! Stripes are fine, but plaid is almost always my favorite.
Love both topsbut crazy about the high waisted wide jeans. Need those now!!!
I love a striped shirt. Plaid shirts are not my thing. I guess they are too casual for my aesthetic. I’ve tried them on but…nope.
Plaid wins hands down for fall. Along with plaid scarfs and booties and skinny jeans! 🍁
Love both looks. I’m a great fan of plaid and love fall colors too. Although the trend to neutrals doesn’t excite me or particularly look good on me either. Rather have color! The oversized shirt looks rather good on you.
I like the striped shirt. That whole outfit is my favorite.
Plaid for fall, for me. I love the colors in this plaid shirt!
I prefer the plaid. I don’t care for the jeans. I just don’t care for the big cuff.
Liked both, but the Plaid better in this post.
I love the stripes. It looks very classic and can be worn for 3 seasons. It also looks like it can be dressed up or just be casual.
I vote Plaid! Love the blue in this shirt!
Philippians 4:8 is one of my fave verses! 🙌
Definitely prefer the plaid. Not sure I care for those jeans – I like a more traditional look with the plaid.
Normally I’m a plaid gal but I actually prefer the stripe you are wearing.
Love those plaids!
I like the plaid shirt the best but I would also wear the striped shirt.
Plaid. I just ordered one myself.
Love the plaid. The striped shirt with light wash jeans is to bland for me. Needs a little more color to make this outfit stand out.
I love stripes.
I like both but I would pick the stripes
I liked your stripped shirt and outfit the best. it looked so comfortable.
Love the striped look the best👍 Like you, I’m loving olive green this year!
Stripes
Love the plaid and especially the straight leg jeans ! Hate those big baggy jeans they make me look bigger than my size 10 ! Yes plaid shirt is big but size down would be fine . Love the colors too .
I like them both. I thought I would have chosen the stripe first but I really do like the plaid color.
stripes!
I really like plaid, and the colors of this one is great. I have been looking for some jeans, like the pair you’re wearing in the first picture but My size is usually sold out. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you share your new website!
I like the plaid top best but the wide leg jeans are my favorite. FYI your link for Old Navy jeans takes you to the main page not the item itself. I could not find the wide leg jeansmto save me….🥺
Oh, no! I’ll fix that right now. Here is the link for you. https://shopstyle.it/l/bMq5Q
