Item #5 of 12: Timberland– Men’s Plaid Shorts
My college roommate works at Adidas. Part of his job is “scouting” early trends in urban fashion in New York, Boston, DC and LA, which he can bring back as inspiration to his designers in Portland, to guide them in their upcoming year’s fashion line.
Last year when my friend visited me in DC, we went to the “And1 Mixtape Tour” at the MCI Center, which of course, was a spectacle to behold. While we were there, he kept pointing out to me the plaid shorts people were wearing… I distinctly remember him telling me: “next year, plaid’s going to BLOW UP.”
And did it ever. Plaid became an integral fad from American Eagle and Abercrombie, to Diesel and Seven, to Sean Jean and Mark Ecko. Of course, the OG of plaid is the lumberjack outdoorsy labels, which is why we’re going Timberland here.
The Timberland Plaid Shorts can be purchased at the Pentagon City Macy’s for $20 on clearance.
