Trend: Plaid Shirts Tied Around the Waist

I've been seeing a lot of this trend lately online; celebrities seem to love this casual look, tying a usually plaid shirt, sometimes chambray, around their waists, pairing it with jeans and a jacket. I have never actually seen anyone wear this look in real life, however, so I decided to try out this look and to my surprise, I actually like the way it looks! It's an unexpected element that makes the otherwise gray and mono-toned outfit more unique. I wore this look out shopping today with some black jeggings and some brown wedges.

T-Shirt: Aerie

Plaid Shirt: Target

Jeggings: Simply Vera 

Brown Wedges: Elle 

I may be late to jump on this band wagon because I have always thought this look to be... impractical? But It looks quite nice when you don't wear it with a jacket. 

Here are some celebrities rocking the what appears to be a "90's Look":

Even One Direction member Liam Payne rocked this look at the MTV VMAs
