Or as we call this pattern in Canada–Lumberjack squares or Lumberjack plaid.
I love these big bold checks and they get their name from the Canadian lumberjacks who wear jackets and shirts with this red and black plaid.
While shopping on Black Friday, I bought two plaid tops at Eclipse. This one is dolman style and is made in Canada, a sporty look and I paired it with black velvet leggings.
Red accessories: beret (thrifted), vegan purse (bought on Whidbey Island) and new red booties from Walking on a Cloud.
Saw these cute black and red hens that match my outfit.
What’s your favourite plaid?
I love this-red and black are one of my favorites. And it was perfect for the season.

Red and black do go perfectly well together. I love how you matched hat, bag and boots also. I love red, but I don’t have any squared stuff. Nice of the right coloured hens to join. 🙂

I loved that these matching hens were nearby for the photoshoot. 🙂 I agree, red and black is a great pair! Is this plaid popular in the UK or Germany?

I’m not sure really, I haven’t seen much like this around. However this year shopping was so different, and I didn’t do window shopping either. 🙂
