By Matthew Marden

November 13, 2009

Welcome to Fuck/Chuck/Marry, a weekly feature about negotiating those tricky relationships with your wardrobe. This installment: plaid shirts.

Check out the options.

FUCK

The bright tartan color got our attention, but it was the torso-hugging slim cut that convinced us to take it home and have our way with it.

CHUCK

When we bought this shirt two years ago, we liked how the bold buffalo plaid gave us a lumberjack edge. Now that we see it on guys all over town, we just feel cheap when we wear it.

MARRY

This traditional plaid in muted blues and greens plays well with both jeans and suits. Once you incorporate it into your wardrobe, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.
