Plaid is a staple Autumn print ripe for an update, and the Spring 2013 catwalks have certainly done just that. The resurgence of '90s grunge has seen the checkered style in firm favour, but this time with a twist thanks to clever print and fabric pairings. Dries Van Noten's show at Paris Fashion Week teamed plaid with sheer floaty florals, intricate embellishment and punchy metallics. Over at Milan Fashion Week, the Max Mara show teamed the Fall classic with leopard print resulting in a safari vibe, while the sheer styling was taken to the extreme at New York Fashion Week when Jill Stuart showed an ivory plaid three-quarter sleeve fitted dress. Shop my plaid pairings below and tell me how you'll bring a fresh twist to the print!

20 Ways to Wear Spring's Sheer Trend Right Now

Spring 2013 catwalks have been full of sheer layers, none more so than in Milan where Bottega Veneta and CNC Costume National showed transparent tops, Emilio Pucci focused on trousers, and Alberta Ferretti and Roberto Cavalli went the whole nine yards in dresses and matching separates.

Spring 2013 catwalks have been full of sheer layers, none more so than in Milan where Bottega Veneta and CNC Costume National showed transparent tops, Emilio Pucci focused on trousers, and Alberta Ferretti and Roberto Cavalli went the whole nine yards in dresses and matching separates. The trend was prevalent in London too, from see-through embroidered sheaths at Erdem and dresses with strategic panels at Topshop Unique to maxi skirts at Temperley and barely-there tops at Christopher Kane and House of Holland. Sheer inserts were also big news in New York, with skin-baring details at the midriff at Jason Wu, the décolletage at Victoria Beckham, in cropped blouses at Marc Jacobs and on lace dresses at BCBG Max Azria.

While the trend is easier to incorporate into a hot weather wardrobe, there's no need to wait until Spring to jump on board. Autumn sheer layers benefit from following a few guidelines, like layering up both underneath and on top, and keeping the see-through detail to just one statement top, bottom or dress. Fabrics like chiffon are super versatile through the year, so take a look here at 20 ways to go sheer without the fear!

The Sexiest Looks From Milan Fashion Week

Can anyone do sexy as joyfully as the Italians?

by Noria Morales

Can anyone do sexy as joyfully as the Italians? Only Dolce & Gabbana could make wearing vegetable prints insanely sexy. In Milan, the crop top made a huge comeback, and while we're wary of the look in real life, we adored the trend on the runway. There was an overt flirtatiousness from designers, who played with sheer fabrics, thigh-high slits, and dresses that fell off shoulders in the most enticing ways. From lush, exotic pieces and draped satins to sexy suiting and retro-fitted swimsuits, Milan inspired the Sophia Loren in all of us. Click the slideshow to see the sexiest looks from Milan Fashion Week.

Ciao, Italia! Milan Fashion Week wrapped up, and more than anything there seemed to be a sense of joy that pervaded the collections. Designers played with textures — plastic, raffia, crochet, and fringe — and revisited retro silhouettes like full skirts and cropped tops. There were playful car prints (Prada) and vegetable prints (Dolce & Gabanna). There was bold color. And there were a few trends that were new to Milan; others we first saw arise in New York and London. Before you turn your eyes to Paris, check out our favorite trends from Milan.
