Plaid Pieces Strictly for Spring a la Irina Shayk

May 3, 2021

Irina Shayk has become a real street style star. She’s been snapped in all kinds of covetable clothing recently, from a fierce shearling jacket to printed double denim. But it’s one of her latest looks, a blazer and skirt set reminiscent of Cher Horowitz, that really caught our attention. Why? Because it proves how cool spring plaid pieces can be. While the in-demand model’s Vivienne Westwood Spring 2021 combo is a little above our pay grade, we found several suitable alternatives. Plaid is most often connected to fall, but throw in a few vibrant or pastel shades and voilà. You’ve got one snazzy spring-appropriate item. You don’t have to rock tartan on top and bottom, though. You can simply style a plaid top with jeans. Or a plaid miniskirt with a crisp button-down or band tee. The options are actually pretty endless. Keep reading to discover the best spring plaid pieces to flaunt as things heat up.
