Mad for Plaid

Ethically Made Plaids for Autumn 2015

Ready for fall layers and cozy fabrics? When the mornings are chilly and the leaves are on the ground, it’s time to add plaid back into rotation. Here are some of my favorite plaid pieces this season:

1. Devonshire Dress from Mata Traders, $92. This classic, A-line dress makes sophistication easy and comfortable. Made fairly in Nepal.

2. Sara Punjammies from Sudara, $45.99. Lightweight, classic plaid pajama pants are great for lazy Saturday mornings and are available in sizes for the whole family. Made fairly in India.

3. Assefa Scarf from FashionABLE, $48.  A scarf is an easy, affordable way to add warmth and style to your daily wear. Handwoven in Ethiopia.

4. Mimi Check Skirt from People Tree, $126.40. This assymetrical skirt is handwoven by an artisan group using traditional methods of clothing production. Made fairly in Bangladesh.

5. Cabin Weekend Dress from Sisters of Nature, $68. This plaid shirt dress from local Nashville boutique Sisters of Nature takes the classic flannel up a notch. Made in the USA.

6. Becka Plaid Coat from Fair Indigo, $199.90. This stunning, lightweight winter coat is an easy statement piece to layer on chilly mornings. Made in the USA.

I love all the ethically sourced options available for fall plaids, but my favorite wardrobe addition at the moment is a thrifted flannel I bought for $2.50. If your wardrobe needs an update but your budget is tight, thrifting is a fabulous option for sustainability.

What are your favorite things to wear in the fall?

  1. These are too cute! I really love the skirt and scarf. I’ve been getting compliments on a small buffalo plaid shirt I purchased from the local Goodwill. I’ve tried MadewellOh and I thought you would appreciate that I tried out ThreadUp and my first time purchase was 40% off! They have free shipping for orders over $50 and a 14 day return policy. I dropped by to recycled my old beat up runners at the Converse store too. I’m so glad I subscribed to your blog because it really helps me think smart about my choices. Thanks!
