Yes. I’m obsessed with plaid this season. Deal with it.
While plaid flannel is not for everyone’s workplace, especially those on the more formal side, it can definitely fly in business casual environments if styled the right way. I picked a fitted plaid flannel shirt with black jeweled buttons and further counterbalanced the traditionally informal textile with slightly dressier elements including these sleek black cropped dress pants and pointed-toe pumps.
For chilly afternoons at my desk, this cable knit cardigan vest is my life-saver. Well, this cardigan and a bottle of whiskey. The combo really does the trick.
(No, I don’t actually drink whiskey at my desk.)
(That’s what the supply closet is for.)
(Yes, Aunt Susan, that is also a joke.)

I just bought a red plaid shirt and really wanted to wear it to work but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate. I have pretty much your exact outfit, which I will be replicating very soon! thanks!
Love the hint of casual in this work appropriate outfit! And plaid, gah, how I love thee. I have a hard time finding a plaid tops that work for the work place, but this is really great!
The trousers and shirt go so well together!! Love it!!

You make that look very professional.
Oh no! You linked not the same pair of pants. The notching in the lateral ankle nails it and sets those pants apart, the link is sadly notchless 🙁
I absolutely love your style! I’m starting graduate/professional school soon, and I’ll be required to dress business casual on a daily basis. Since I’m just beginning to build my professional wardrobe, could you make any suggestions for staple items that I need to have in my closet?
Love the layered look with this sweater. xo Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no/
Love the plaid too but I’ve always found it difficult to wear it to work. But this look is a great way to do it!!
