Consider this your official fall fashion alert: plaid is back.
Specifically, Glen plaid.
I only mention this because you know how the PC (Perpetually Cis-ed off) crowd behind the #metoo movement hate that women have culturally appropriated the fashion of old white guys. I mean, could there be a more quintessentially male fabric than Saville Rowe’s Glen plaid?
Worn by every old white guy ever known, from Cary Grant in North by Northwest
to Sean Connery’s and Daniel Craig’s uber-macho James Bond.
And then along came women like Ginger Rogers and Lana Turner, appropriating the heck out of it.
- to the point that menswear in general and glen plaid in particular became a women’s fashion classic.
It’s classic status was demonstrated by Stacey Dash’s and Alicia Silverstone’s characters, Dionne and Cher, in 1995’s Clueless:
Yet somehow I expect that all you’ll hear from the fashion mavens this time around is how much Melania’s Glen Plaid Halloween coat cost.
And how inappropriate it is, because of it’s old oppressive white guys heritage. Doesn’t it look great?!

Plaid has always been classic. I’ve had plaid skirts and jackets all through my 60+ year life. I loved plaid kilts in my younger days with a turtleneck sweater. A classic plaid blazer with jeans and boots is a winner and provides a lot of warmth on a crisp fall or winter day.
Glad to see Melania sporting some very attractive plaid colors and designs.
I love love love plaid.
That yellow coat is seriously ugly. Melania is a beautiful who looks good in her clothes, but even she can’t save that monstrosity.
beautiful woman
She obviously has no fashion sense...where is the “boob belt”? ...and the ever-present scowl. /s/
