The life cycle of plaid has grown to be just about as diverse as a material can get in the sartorial sphere. From its earliest appearance as the uniform of brawny lumberjacks to its mid-life incarnation as the inside of Burberry trench coats to its most recent development as the uniform of underfed hipster hims and hers alike, plaid survives with the fashion conscious and the fashion unconscious. But Bwog has noticed that Columbia undergrads are embracing plaid in never seen before styles and forms. From backpacks to mini-skirts - plaid is no longer just for Anglophile-inclined b-schoolers and grungy Bill-burghers. For how to best wear your plaid take a look at the casual styles of your fellow Columbians!

"There's a sketchy high school senior wandering College Walk in a trenchcoat offering anyone $800 to take the Biology SAT II right now."

Hmm... sound familiar? At this point, we're convinced Fox News is just setting Columbia students up for an expose. Trenchcoat? You can do better than that, O'Reilly.
