What could be more perfect (and chic) for cold weather than a red plaid print reminiscent of a lumberjack? You see, this trend only works if you’re a girl. It’s all about flipping the scripts.

Forget leopard print, how about dairy cow print? And add in a bright red collar to keep things quirky yet fashion-forward. I love all of Alice’s woven bracelets too; they’re a nice contrast to the metal necklaces around her neck.

I already thought Chloe was cool as hell for her off-kilter approach to traditional American prep-school fashion. But when I saw she came complete with accurately monogrammed sweater (CB are her initials), and heard that she even added the feather details to the hat herself, I realized I had come across one amazing individual. If only everyone in Chicago had the courage to take a fashion concept and twist it to make it their own, my job would be so much easier!
