While body size doesn't really matter when it come to accessorizing with plaid, it certainly is a major consideration when it comes to clothing. A smooth fit is optimum with pattern, as is using it to play a discreet game of body shape hide and seek . Stay clear of any heavyweight fabric close to your body unless you want to put on a quick ten pounds.
