Taylor Swift wore a plaid minidress during a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 3, showcasing the pattern as a key fall fashion staple. Her outfit highlighted how the classic print can be styled for an evening look. Swift supported host Dakota Johnson, wearing a $595 Simkhai off-the-shoulder dress paired with a Saint Laurent belt and Burberry knee-high boots. The styling modernized the traditionally preppy pattern, while Johnson wore a vintage 2013 Versace dress. Plaid was fall 2025's go-to print and remains popular in various items. Swift's look demonstrated how a shorter silhouette and accessories can transition the pattern from day to night, while Johnson's red dress showed bold colors are also welcome this season.
