Plaid is having a major moment in fashion this spring! While the timeless pattern has a rich history stretching back centuries, it’s experiencing a remarkable resurgence in 2025, appearing in both the fashion world and interior design. Originally rooted in Celtic culture as early as the 8th century, plaid’s influence expanded through the centuries, especially with the Highland clans of Scotland, where it became synonymous with woven wool fabrics. Over time, plaid made its way into clothing and even home interiors.
The 1970s marked a major plaid renaissance, with the pattern appearing on everything from suits to shirts to furniture. In the 1980s, plaid was embraced by the grunge movement, and by the 1990s, it took on a preppy vibe, thanks to its iconic appearance in movies like Clueless. Now, in 2025, plaid is back—and it’s making waves like never before!
Traditionally associated with fall’s rich, autumnal hues, plaid in 2025 is evolving. This season, plaid is taking on softer, pastel tones, perfectly timed to welcome the spring season!
Several 2025 spring/summer fashion shows spotlighted the timeless pattern on both women and men's clothing. This rain jacket from Fendi combines plaid with the nautical trend.
Plaid on plaid! Layered plaids were a standout in several 2025 fashion shows, establishing it as a must-watch trend. Designers paired rich, vibrant hues and varying scales of the pattern, creating striking, attention-grabbing looks.
And it’s not just clothing—pastel and bright plaids are making their way into home decor and the gift and novelty industries, adding a playful touch to interiors.
Plaid is everywhere in 2025, and it's not just for fall anymore—this spring, it’s here to stay!
