I can't take two steps out of my L.A. apartment without spotting a sea of plaid everywhere I look. This ubiquitous pattern may just be one of the few trends that prim girls in Beverly Hills and hipsters in Silverlake both seem to agree on. Don't know whether to run for cover or to just give in and button on a flannel shirt and call it a day? Here's where to score some tartan of your own.

Plaid is pretty popular here in New York, more with the hipster crowd, specifically in Brooklyn. Doesn’t it feel like this trend has hung on toooo long?
