If you know anything about Olivia Rodrigo’s style, you’re probably aware that she loves polka-dot dresses. In fact, it’s kind of her signature style at this point. The polka-dot dress trend is a classic, but fall is on the horizon, and the print is a bit more of a summer look, so it should come as no surprise that in-the-know people such as Rodrigo are ready to swap it for a more autumn-friendly print trend. That trend is plaid—specifically, plaid dresses, which is what Rodrigo wore while walking in Los Angeles with Louis Partridge.
We’ve been covering the return of plaid for months, as it first came to light on the S/S 25 runways. It should come as no surprise that by the time F/W 25 fashion weeks came around, plaid had completely infiltrated the runways. Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren, and Kallmeyer are just a few of the brands embracing checks, and Rodrigo’s plaid mini dress (which she paired with ballet flats, in true Olivia Rodrigo fashion) is the perfect way to ease into fall while it’s still hot out.
