I’m really not into plaid shirts, but I love the purse that Ashley is carrying!

julie on October 25th, 2007

I love Kate’s jeans, where can I find ones like hers?

Jen on October 25th, 2007

I love Jennifer Aniston’s look! Where is her shirt from???

PK on October 25th, 2007

I love Ashley’s Skinny Jeans, where could i find a pair like that.

Elda on October 25th, 2007

No matter what Jennifer wears, that girl steals the show!!

Cristina_M on October 25th, 2007

Yep, it’s official. This is basically what I want to wear every single day–and that Alexander McQueen shirt is just insanely cute.

Or you can save your money and just raid your husband’s, brothers, dad’s or guy friends closets.

I lived in plaid shirts in the 90′s. Back then it was called grunge.

Jenna on October 25th, 2007

I’m not to into that style. They make them look like farmer brown. *giggles* Oh and maybe its the angle but Ashley’s curves are way out of wack. lol.

Ashley wear it better ,but I don’t like it. Jennifer and Kate nada.

Daisy on October 25th, 2007

I would never wear this horrible combo!!! BUT! I do think the only one here that looks cute is Jennifer, plain and simple. Kate and Ashley both look like CLOWNS like usual!!!!

The only shirt I’d wear out of these 3 would be Jennifer’s. Kate’s plaid shirt looks like what my Grandpa wears, and Ashley’s plaid shirt, while it looks nice, it’s long and I hate tucking in my shirts. I like how Jennifer’s shirt stops right at the hips, that’s the kind I like, I’m not into the long ones. Also the shirt has the right plaid colors and pattern, plus its not something that looks like what my Grandpa wears, LOL.

Kate doesn’t look horrible, but her plaid shirt is really ugly, especially when she tucks the shirt in, which makes the high waist jeans look unflattering {which I’m not a big fan of}. Her hair style is ugly, along with those ugly sunglasses. She should have opted for something like the red plaid shirt at GAP to pair with her jeans.

Ashley’s outfit isn’t too bad. The shirt is okay, and her jeans are nice too, but those shoes are all wrong.

Jennifer looks the best. She looks effortless and flawless. She does it right without trying too hard. Plus she rocks flip flops and a plaid shirt, that’s awesome in my book, haha.

I like the red plaid shirt at GAP. Also try these cute flannel tops at Old Navy. These shirts are better then the recommendation from Old Navy:

I have this plaid shirt and it’s absolutely adorable. Wear this shirt with a great pair of jeans and flats and you’re set.

Genevieve on October 26th, 2007

I think the plaid shirts are so cute! And PK, you should try Wrangler47 skinny jeans. They rock!

chris on October 26th, 2007

there are two types of plaid in my opinion.

western, which usually is the thinner and lighter colors/weights. with pointed pockets and pearl snaps buttons.

and lumberjack, which is heavier and darker, and more like the grunge look from the 90s.

i love the western styled ones, and jen’s look here is hot!

Joy on October 27th, 2007

Ashley Olsen has on a black leather jacket in a couple of pictures and I would LOVE to know where she got it. It is kind of roushed at the zipper and she can push up the sleeves. Its AWESOME, please help me find it!
Thanks!

Kisairis on November 2nd, 2007

I love Ashley outfit it thye best out of the 3, it love very cut3 and neat.

ALY on November 5th, 2007

I like the look more casual like Jen’s and not as dressed up like Kate’s

Rachel on December 3rd, 2007

I think Jennifer Aniston does this look best. Where did she get her flip flops?
