Go mad for plaid with Jessica Roland Mouret skirt!

Plaids, tartans, grid patterns, whatever you call it, it's IN this fall. If the Dior, Chanel, Michael Kors, Altuzarra collections didn't do it for you then perhaps this slender fit, pencil skirt by Roland Mouret will.

The collegiate, autumnal pattern is a timeless classic and we love this blown up, bold pattern on Jessica's skirt... a modern take on a perennial favorite.

Jessica looks sophisticated and polished in head to toe Mouret (shop her top below) and it's got our heads buzzing with endless pairing possibilities with her skirt.

Tuck a crisp white blouse into it for daytime or dress it up with a blousey black tank for dinner.

So click right to nab her skirt from the Roland Mouret website. Alternatively, we've rounded up a few of affordable favorites in our edit below, have a look!
