Fashion Friday: Plaids and gingham for summer

 Why? According to Telluride Inside and Out’s fashion expert Kristin Holbrook of Two Skirts, the answer is simple: the updated classics are fun and great with jeans.

 Worn alone, gingham might say “Mad Men” and retro 50s glamour. Plaid alone might be a nostalgic nod to farmers, very hip in light of the fact returning to the land has become a go-to career choice for many young people today and Carhartts, the new suit and tie. However, today’s plaids are not just for button-down shirts. There are dresses, swimsuits, and romantic tops., plus handbags, scarves, even shoes.
