Checkmate: Why Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Chloë Moretz are Mad for Plaid

If models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are anything to go by, then it’s clear county-style plaid is creeping back into fashion. Given what we’ve seen this past week, it appears that buffalo check, tartan, and the familiar flannel are all being aired by celebrities in the dog days of summer too. Rihanna slipped an oversize coat over her bra top and shorts, coordinating the look with cool kicks, while Selena Gomez played off the palette with frayed denim shorts and a color-block button-down. Putting a more ladylike spin on the idea, Chloë Moretz wore high-waisted trousers to offset the fluttering shoulder detail on her blouse.
