And wearing plaid well can actually enhance your natural features and create harmony with your skin tone, hair color and body type.<\/p>\n<p>When considering plaid, first think color. It\u2019s important to create a color balance between your natural tones and the garment. If your skin is lighter in tone, choose more muted colors. If your skin is darker in tone, clearer, more bold colors will work for you.<\/p>\n<p>Next, consider your body type. Taller frames can wear larger-scale plaid prints, but if you are on the petite size, choose a smaller plaid pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you want to wear the plaid. You don\u2019t want the plaid to wear you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit Goodwill and find plaid to match your color tone, body type and budget.
