Saturday Styles: The Prevalence of Plaid
The life cycle of plaid has grown to be just about as diverse as a material can get in the sartorial sphere. From its earliest appearance as the uniform of brawny lumberjacks to its mid-life incarnation as the inside of Burberry trench coats to its most recent development as the uniform of underfed hipster hims and hers alike, plaid survives with the fashion conscious and the fashion unconscious. But Bwog has noticed that Columbia undergrads are embracing plaid in never seen before styles and forms. From backpacks to mini-skirts – plaid is no longer just for Anglophile-inclined b-schoolers and grungy Bill-burghers. For how to best wear your plaid take a look at the casual styles of your fellow Columbians!

GREAT ARTICLE!!
WOULD READ AGAIN!!!
10/10!!
the girl in the last pic looks crazed
yea, that outfit is just fug.
mwhahahaaha
that girl looks preggers
i’d hit that
none of these hims and hers look underfed
I like plaid, including on kilts. Pity it kinda too cold to still wear one right now
imagine the shrinkage!
it’s 1992-1993 all over again!
I understand the use of plaid on all the pics except the last one. That is just a fashion disaster. On the plus side, the chick is pretty fuckable
The last one is the only one that is remotely fashionable.
they are all “fashionable” as they are prescribing to a “fashion trend”
fuck society.
the last girl’s outfit is ugly.
SUBscribing. not PREscribing.
I would definitely fuck the last one, plaid skirt on and all.
i would bone them all. especially the backpack. not the dude, just the backpack.
Was this at all inspired by a very similar article in the NYT Styles section on Thursday? Of course, its not very hard to notice but the timing does seem to be rather coincidental.
now that I think about it. The last one looks like the love child of jessica puig and sara besnoff
Too bad It”s been plaid since 2000. Plaid CBHS!
yo, that first chick stole my hoodie! i’ve been tryina find that for weeks!
Fucking hipsters.
Cept Billy. He’s cool.
BACKPACK
the thing is none of these people are fashionable.
that skirt has the potential to be fashionable, but she wears it so poorly!
knapsack? really?
lol d00d w glasses is kinda hott lol
FUCK THAT PLAID HAT
I must register my strenuous objection to the misappropriation of the pronoun “her” in the first caption. That is all.
