Urban plaid is cool

Sometimes, lumberjack culture finds its way back into the mainstream, just as it did back in the days of torn flannels and Kurt Cobain. Sure, it's been a runway staple for a while now, but who'd have thought that you'd be buying a dorky lumberjack shirt for $60 at Urban Outfitters?

It seems like everywhere I turn, I see the previously nerdy pattern crawling its way back into everyday fashion. And I kinda like it. Aside from making you look tougher and more outdoorsy, plaid has the unique capability of combining lots of great colors while still bringing a traditional feel to your outfit.

Let's face it, plaid looks trustworthy. If I needed help with directions, or I needed to know where the best bar in town is, I'd probably ask someone wearing plaid.
