Fashion Q&A: To plaid or not to plaid?

Fashion trends, as fleeting as they are, can be quite dodgy. Sometimes they're out as fast as they were in, and you can't always delineate the tricky point of no return.

Perfectly illustrating this frustration is this week's Out.com Fashion Q&A in which a concerned style citizen admits his attraction to plaid coincides with a sinking suspicion the trend might already be losing longevity and/or originality.

His dilemma is a valid one, and applicable to many of the trends that we see from season to season. But, be befuddled no more! Out.com's experts are here to placate your plaids, so read up in the Fashion Q&A section to get yourself sorted out. And in case you're already wondering: plaid is here to stay.
