Spotted: Paul Walker gracing GQ’s January issue in none other than a suit paired with a plaid shirt, demonstrating like Chuck Bass, plaid is made for any occasion. And with New Year’s Eve just around the corner, it makes for a great outfit option, guaranteed to catch a girl’s eye as fast and furious as if you were PW himself.

Good old plaid. You can always count on it to give you that cool “I-just-rolled-out-of-bed” look. Or how about the “I’ve-just-been-chopping-some-wood-in-the-wilderness-but-hey-I-still-look-good” look?

The recent plaid revival has been spotted in countless casual looks, but it’s rarely used for dressier occassions. And with plaid shirts dominating every display window in the mall this season, it’s understandable how you may have accumulated 2, 3…10 plaid shirts into your wardrobe.

What to do with a closet full of plaid looks? It’d be a pity to reserve them for only casual weekend wear. Instead try incorporating your tartan and flannel with the dressier items from your wardrobe and take your favorite plaid shirt to work with you!

You’ll be channeling your inner Chuck Bass in no time – you know you love him, XOXO.
