The Shadow-Plaid Suit 

 A strong plaid suit, often considered dandyish and too difficult to marry with shirts and ties, may be a tough thing for most guys to pull off. But fall&#39;s new breed of plaid suits are muted and shadowed, and in some cases feature a shot of deep color in the form of a windowpane pattern. These plaids suggest a quiet confidence and team up perfectly with natty or subdued shirts and ties. This is modern traditionalism at its best.
