It's doable and tell me this contemporary plaid blazer with collarless shirt isn't HOT! Wearing plaid doesn't have to be professorial, geeky, loud, or stuffy. Gucci under the guidance of Frida Giannini has flourished and while this particular combination may be out of your price range {blazer, $2,350 and shirt, $510}, consider the possibility that plaid is a new classic.
Here's a Gucci Prince of Wales check blazer, ASOS Slim Fit check blazer, or Peter Millar Vespa sportcoat that captures the essence of laid-back, sporty chic without all the fuss.
