PORTER Picks: Plaid
Shop like a fashion editor with our expert guide to the most sought-after plaid styles of fall/winter ’26
From its centuries-long Scottish origins and American frontier roots to its subversive adoption by punk and the iconic lining of Burberry’s trench coats, plaid is a pattern steeped in history. For fall/winter 2026, it retakes center stage as an assemblage of casual shirts, statement midis, and heritage-inspired outerwear from fashion’s most in-demand designers.
