While the early-90's grunge look of baggy jeans and plaid flannel shirts has never appealed to me, lately I've caught myself doing more than a few double-takes on a similar style while out and about. Plaid shirts - the lumberjack style best associated with mountain men and the grunge-era - are definitely catching my eye. But the shirts that I've spotted lately aren't anything like their grunge-era cousins, this new generation of plaid shirts is hip, chic, and effortless. Don't believe me? Well check out some styles now in the Hive, like this ultra-cute white collared and cuffed plaid button up; it would look anything but shabby tucked under a pair of high-waisted jeans. Or how about this adorable red Steven Alan plaid shirt? I'd wear it open over a pair of black skinnies and some cute flats. Even if you're still skeptical about this trend, you've gotta' check out all of the plaid shirt styles now available in the Hive!

Look at any red carpet event these days, and you'll be seeing more tuxedo jackets than ever before - and not just on the boys. Gone are the days when the structured tuxedo jacket was only to be seen on the date of the starlet attending award shows and premieres! Today the ladies are taking this suit component into their own hands. Seen on the likes of Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Natalie Portman, this style is sure to stick around. Over a formal gown, with tailored tuxedo shorts, or paired with jeans, this style seems to have infinite possibilities. For the classic style suit up with Paul and Joe's "Edgarpoe" jacket. On the other end of the spectrum mix up the style with Cosa Nostra's innovation (Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia's line). Make sure to check out the SLIDESHOW to discover where to buy these extremes and and everything in between! To see the style in action click over to Brittany Snow's Celeb Style Swipe.
