Today we commemorate the life of the plaid shirt. This trend is over, people. In fact, it's been over for years now. The plaid shirt is a favourite for brands such as Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister. Unfortunately, however, it continues to reappear every season. This season it's been redesigned with a hood [enter sarcasm]! Personally, I feel that once a style has trickled its way down to department stores (by this I mean Wal-Mart, not Neiman Marcus, Macy's, etc.), it's a good indication that the trend is over. Plaid has become an epidemic! It needs to be stopped. There is no longer a need to bring the country into the city. So, bury your plaid shirts until this trend resurfaces...and it will eventually make a comeback.

Until that time, however, we bid you adieu, plaid. Be proud in knowing that you survived far too long.

Love always,

Me
