Every fall, there’s one wardrobe staple that quietly takes over, and this year it’s undeniably the plaid button-down shirt. Instead of feeling rugged or overly casual, the newest versions are softer, more oversized and intentionally styled, making them feel just as polished as a classic Oxford shirt. They add texture, warmth and just the right amount of effortless cool to almost any outfit.

Fashion insiders are wearing plaid shirts far beyond the traditional jeans-and-boots formula. Think draped over the shoulders like a sweater, tied around the waist with tailored shorts, layered over tanks, tucked into trousers or even knotted at the waist over a slip dress. To narrow down your search for your new fall favorite, we’ve rounded up 13 elevated styles that make the trend feel fresh again.

13 Luxe-Looking Plaid Shirts for Fall—Starting at $13

1. Oversized Favorite: The relaxed silhouette makes this one ideal for wearing open over a fitted tank or bodysuit while temperatures are still mild. As the weather cools, simply button it up or drape it over your shoulders like a lightweight sweater.

2. Waffle Wonder: The textured waffle knit gives this shirt extra dimension compared to traditional flannel. Half-tuck it into wide-leg jeans to let the fabric and the plaid print take center stage.

3. Cozy Classic: Soft brushed flannel gives this oversized button-down that tomboy feel everyone loves when temperatures drop. Wear it unbuttoned over leggings or tie it around your waist when afternoons warm up.

4. Vintage Wash: A lived-in finish makes this cozy plaid shirt feel like a favorite you’ve owned for years. Tuck one side into denim for an intentionally effortless look.

5. Soft and Brushed: This brushed fabric feels especially cozy while the classic plaid pattern keeps it timeless. Throw it over your shoulders with a simple white tee for an easy weekend outfit.

6. Shacket Style: Part shirt, part lightweight jacket, this oversized style works beautifully layered over tees and lightweight sweaters. The slightly heavier fabric makes it perfect for crisp mornings.

7. Office-Ready Plaid: A cleaner silhouette and lighter-weight fabric make this chic plaid shirt easy to wear with tailored trousers. Tie the ends at your waist over a tank for a more relaxed post-work look.

8. Waist-Defining Pick: Roll-tab sleeves and a slightly longer hem make this plaid button-down especially versatile. Add a brooch or pin at the waist instead of tying it for a flattering, cinched silhouette.

9. Designer-Inspired: Free People’s signature oversized fit gives this plaid shirt an effortlessly cool feel. Wear it open over a ribbed tank and vintage denim for that easy, off-duty look.

10. Mixed Texture: The combination of waffle knit and plaid creates more visual interest than your regular run-of-the-mill button-down. Pair it with denim shorts and knot the sleeves around your waist when you’re on the go.

11. Clean Lines: The streamlined plaid shirt feels a little dressier thanks to its crisp collar and polished construction. Tuck it neatly into your favorite wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt for an elevated office outfit.

12. Layering Essential: The lightweight flannel makes this one easy to layer under quilted vests and trench coats later in the season. Style it untucked while it’s still a little warm out, then button it all the way up as temperatures drop.

13. Everyday Staple: Classic plaid, a relaxed fit and timeless button-front styling make this the shirt you’ll reach for on repeat. Tie the front over a tank with linen shorts now, then transition it into fall with jeans and ankle boots.

Déjà vu, it’s Barbenheimer all over again. This time, however, it’s for the sci-fi fans. In three months, cinema will return in full force with the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, as well as the finale of Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus, Dune: Part Three. Though there is still some component of competitiveness, the union of these two hard-hitting franchises has ultimately been embraced by the fans.

On December 18, Doomsday and Dune will hit theaters in an event that hasn’t been seen since Barbie and Oppenheimer. Instead of two stories that could not be further apart, however, December will show the marriage of sci-fi ventures that will speak to most fans. The crossover appeal of both movies may be just the thing to unite the divide in pop culture.

‘Dune: Part Three’ Is a Historic End to a Flawless Franchise

There are franchises, and then there are franchises. Before Denis Villeneuve, a three-part Dune saga would have seemed impossible. Instead, he delivered a story that somehow evoked the exact feeling of reading the book. From acting, to score, to cinematography, Dune was the epitome of a true epic.

Even when Villeneuve substantially deviated from the source material, he could still do no wrong. In some ways, the filmmaker even improved upon Frank Herbert’s material, as controversial as that is to say. He took an incredibly dense book full of specific jargon and lore and made a compelling masterpiece out of it.

Adapting the first Dune novel was one thing, but now Villeneuve is wrapping up the story with the Dune: Messiah translation, Dune: Part Three. Everyone is anticipating how Paul (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani’s (Zendaya) story will converge after everything that has transpired. The most important, however, is concluding Paul’s story on a high note.

The conclusion of Dune: Part Two indicated he was on the precipice of becoming a monster, but the final entry into the saga will finally tell his story the way it was always meant to be told. At the same time, Villeneuve seamlessly weaves in a heart-rending love story, philosophy, and the concept that absolute power corrupts. Dune is a powerhouse and is only one part of this epic day in film history.

‘Avengers: Doomsday’ May Be a Return to Form For Marvel

Marvel had a tough act to follow when it came to Avengers: Endgame and Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) ultimate demise. It was the culmination of years of hard work and seemed to mark the end of the ensemble film. While many would have been satisfied with that, the long-standing franchise had something else up its sleeve. After the demise of Kang, the brand had the inspired idea to fast-track the newest villain, the powerful Doctor Victor von Doom.

More frightening and compelling than Thanos could ever hope to be, this was the right call. It also offered the potential to get the franchise back on track. Casting Downey Jr. was initially a controversial decision, but the release of the Avengers: Doomsday trailer was confirmation that this is exactly where the franchise needs to go.

Doom is just one component made to make Doomsday sing. This will be another culmination of many storylines, making way for something entirely new. At long last, the MCU is finally inviting the X-Men into the fold. Bringing back many of the legacy actors of Fox’s X-Men will be just the start.

Casting for the MCU X-Men has been extremely exciting, and it is all going to start with Doomsday. It also happens to set up the long-anticipated arrival of Secret Wars. After the tepid response to the multiverse, it certainly appears that the Incursions are on the docket. Doomsday may have just the secret sauce to fix the Marvel brand and usher in a new era. The New Avengers offer fresh faces to carry on the brand, while MCU hopefuls are ready to finally see the reunion of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

If anything is certain, December 18th will be the day for sci-fi. Dune and Doomsday offer slightly different tastes, but each has its merits. Dune: Part Three is a bittersweet conclusion, showing the end of Paul’s downward spiral in a socially aware tale. Doomsday is a comforting return to form, but may very well be the best Marvel movie since Endgame. Only time will tell when fans join in celebration of sci-fi’s greatest night.

One Chicago has experienced several surprise cast exits and shakeups in 2026.

In September 2026, Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut confirmed she wasn’t reprising her role as Naomi. Chestnut previously appeared in season 9 and 10 before viewers started to question her future on the show.

Executive producer Allen MacDonald later addressed concerns that Naomi was written off after she reappeared in season 11.

“I understand the misunderstanding of that. We love Ashlei Sharpe Chesnut; she’s phenomenal. We never intended to write her out,” MacDonald told Deadline in October 2025. “We always knew she was going to be back this season. But with everything that happened with Dr. Hayes and her leaving the hospital, I don’t blame the audience for thinking she was gone.”

MacDonald hinted at plans to expand Naomi’s story.

“I saw in a lot of the articles that I definitely don’t read every night that they thought she had left for good, but that was never the intention,” he continued. “And as you know, she’s back, and for the season.”

Chestnut isn’t the only one who won’t be returning to the One Chicago franchise. The One Chicago universe has often faced cast shakeups. NBC’s president of program planning Jeff Bader previously addressed the way Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. have often lost fan-favorite characters.

“Cast comes in, cast goes out,” Bader told TVLine in July 2024. “It’s interesting, because every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question about what’s going on within the One Chicago universe. But [those shows] just keep going on.”

Bader noted that each of the Chicago shows have continued to find success, adding, “We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night.”

Keep scrolling to see which cast members are leaving the One Chicago franchise in 2026:

Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut (‘Chicago Med’)

Chestnut, who played Naomi since season 9, was asked via TikTok in September whether she is coming back to the NBC series.

“I haven’t seen in you ages hope you’re doing well:) can I ask will you be returning to Chicago Med?” read a fan comment, to which Chestnut replied, “Thank you! Hope you’re well too:) And no.”

Dermot Mulroney (‘Chicago Fire’)

Mulroney will wrap up his story line in the show’s upcoming 15th season after joining two seasons prior.

Joe Miñoso (‘Chicago Fire’)

News broke in July 2026 that Miñoso is leaving the hit NBC series. Miñoso played firefighter Joe Cruz since Chicago Fire premiered in 2012. He is expected to appear in several episodes during season 15.

LaRoyce Hawkins (‘Chicago P.D.’)

Hawkins will be leaving the NBC series after 13 seasons as a series regular. He will wrap up his character Kevin Atwater’s arc in the first few episodes of season 14.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow opened up about an intense, emotionally and potentially devastating moment she shared with husband John Barlow while filming season 7.

“I’ve never hidden anything since I’ve been on the show. I have zero control over what’s shown and what’s not,” Lisa, 51, exclusively tells Us ahead of the Wednesday, September 16 premiere of the hit Bravo series. “I have a really great marriage, and I’m very lucky for that. But I put in the work on it.”

Lisa and John, 50, said “I do” back in 2003, going on to welcome Jack, now 21, and Henry, now 14. Lisa recalled having a “tough time” in the “early” years of her and John’s marriage.

“I’m his second wife, and so I think, like I went into our marriage, really independent, as did he,” she recalled. “So I think the first three years of our marriage were the hardest for me, and then to circle back to that last year devastated me … There’s times where you have two very strong, driven people married together where it’s been hard.”

Lisa recounted what it was like to film that tough lunch scene and — what was perhaps an even more challenging endeavour — watch it back months later.

“When we filmed the lunch last year, it felt like nothing. Two best friends that are also parents that own businesses together that live, breathe and work together,” she said. “When we left that, I didn’t feel any different. It’s when I watched it that I sobbed, and I’m like, ‘Do you even love me?’”

Lisa shared that while she and John have grown accustomed to being apart for an extended period of time due to their various obligations, she didn’t realize how complacent they both became in their marriage until recently.

“My first year of marriage, he was gone [for] 36 weeks … for building businesses like our brands. We weren’t as codependent back then as we are now. But I started traveling again [and] more. I don’t just work with Bravo. We own businesses, so we’re gone a lot. And I started to realize that,” she recalled. “I’m like, ‘Wait a minute? Who is he hanging out with? What is he doing? Who is he going to lunch with?’ And it’s like businesspeople that I didn’t know or friends from high school.”

Lisa confessed that being out of the loop on what was going on in John’s life “really started to bother” her.

“Seeing the way he reacted to me and how he would normally react, I literally was like, ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ Like that was a genuine feeling. I’m like, ‘Do you love me?’ I would never want someone to be with me if they didn’t love me, and I wouldn’t want to be with someone who didn’t love me,” she reflected. “And then he’s like, ‘Why would you even think that? How does your mind even go there? Yes, I love you.’ But he didn’t understand why I was so [bothered] by watching that conversation.”

Lisa admitted that the situation between her and John “felt different,” adding that at one point she even asked her father to impart some safe advice.

“I called my dad, and you only go to your dad if it’s important,” she recalled. “So I called my dad and cried to my dad, and I’m like, ‘I think, John and I might be done .. I don’t think he loves me anymore.’ My dad’s kind of like, ‘Everybody loves you.’ It’s good to have your dad’s support. My family loves John, but you know we were able to, like, have hard-hitting conversations, so that we could stay a strong, united married couple.”

Lisa shared her love for John and their children keeps her going strong.

“Our kids love us together. We love being parents. We love our family. And I would give up everything before I’d give up my family,” she told Us. “I’d have nothing before I’d give up my family.”

Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premieres on Bravo Wednesday, September 16, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

I’ll admit it: I’m a bit of a loungewear snob. If I’m going to spend half my fall in matching sets, sweatpants and oversized sweatshirts, I want them to feel cozy without making me look like I just rolled out of bed. So when I started browsing Amazon ahead of its huge Prime Big Deal Days sale, I was pleasantly surprised by how many discounts already met my admittedly high standards.

Kandi Burruss is reacting to ex Todd Tucker’s claim that they regularly had threesomes.

“A man who has already hurt me to my core is furthering the damage by choosing to sensationalize our sex life to stretch his five minutes of fame,” Burruss told People in a Wednesday, September 16, statement, referring to her ex-husband.

Burruss continued, “What consensually happens between a husband and wife in the privacy of their marriage is exactly that — private. His current behavior has only confirmed that I did the right thing by getting divorced. I Do, I Did, I’m Done!”

Tucker, 53, said in the trailer for his upcoming film, ‘Til Divorce Do Us Part, which he shared via Instagram on Monday, September 14, “We did [have threesomes]. I would say most of our marriage we did.”

Kandi Burruss has The Real Housewives of Atlanta to thank for introducing her to now-estranged husband Todd Tucker. While filming season 4 of the Bravo reality show in 2011, Burruss had the opportunity to meet Tucker, who was serving as a line producer for the show. A romance blossomed, which led to the pair getting […]

Burruss announced her split from Tucker after 11 years of marriage in November 2025.

“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect,” the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum said in a statement to Us at the time. “I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”

Burruss, 50, and Tucker finalized their divorce earlier this year, with the musician agreeing to pay her ex a lump sum of $426,000, according to a settlement agreement obtained by TMZ in March.

The exes also agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their two children, Ace, 10, and Blaze, 6. (Burruss is also mom to Next Gen NYC star Riley Burruss, 24.)

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss called out her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, for allegedly not seeing their kids a ton since their divorce, Us Weekly can exclusively report. On Thursday, January 8, Burruss, 49, filed court docs demanding a hearing be set to determine parenting time and child support as part of […]

“We are joint. Everything is split evenly — even when it comes to the financial part of it,” Burruss said of the settlement agreement in a March interview with Loren LoRosa. “We had properties together that we had to split equally. Basically it’s just so we just have to end up with equal equity.”

She said of the lump sum, “It is who got what properties and if I ended up with one more, I just had to pay the difference up. So we are still equal in what we got. Because I ended up with more on the property side, then I just paid the different stuff. So it’s not like I had to pay him.”

“If you read the whole thing, we have to be equal in the equity that we have in the properties that we own together,” Burruss continued. “What I’m saying is we have to be equal in what we both take out of the properties. So if we didn’t sell the properties and we just did based off of, ‘I’m going to take these two and you take whatever.’ But if my properties may be worth more, then I have to pay the difference so that we’re both still equal.”

Ed Sheeran’s troubled Loop Tour has suffered another setback after an Irish radio station removed his music from its playlist amid the growing controversy surrounding Macklemore’s departure. Classic Hits Radio said the decision followed complaints from listeners and the withdrawal of several artists who had been scheduled to support Sheeran during the remaining tour dates. The station’s move intensifies the pressure surrounding Sheeran, who has insisted that the decision to remove Macklemore was made by the tour’s promoter and not by him.

Classic Hits Radio has removed Sheeran’s music for the “foreseeable future,” according to The Telegraph. Dave Kelly, group program director at Bay Broadcasting, which operates the station, said the decision was made after careful consideration.

“Our decision to remove Ed Sheeran’s music from the Classic Hits Radio playlist has been carefully considered,” Kelly said. “As an independent Irish-owned radio station, we believe it is important to listen to our audience and to stand alongside Irish artists who have made what is undoubtedly a significant professional decision based on their own convictions.”

Kelly explained that the reaction from listeners and the decisions made by artists associated with the tour ultimately influenced the station. “In light of the strength of feeling expressed by our listeners, and the decisions taken by Irish artists involved in the tour, we believe removing Ed Sheeran’s music from our playlist is the appropriate decision for Classic Hits Radio at this time,” he added.

5

The controversy began after Macklemore delivered a pro-Palestinian message during a performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The rapper reportedly told people in Gaza and the West Bank that they had not been forgotten. Macklemore was subsequently removed from the Loop Tour after several upcoming venues reportedly objected to his continued involvement.

Following his departure, Aaron Rowe, Finneas, Lukas Graham and Beoga, Sheeran’s backing band, withdrew from the remaining dates and shared messages supporting Macklemore. The departures left Sheeran’s tour facing major changes, with 17 scheduled performances remaining across North and South America.

Macklemore Donates His Tour Earnings

5

Macklemore announced that he would donate his $1 million in net earnings from the Loop Tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians. “With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation and still fighting for their freedom,” he wrote on Instagram.

“I will be donating the entire one million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people,” Macklemore added.

The rapper also publicly challenged Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, to match his donation. Addressing Kraft, Macklemore wrote that “whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this, Palestinian lives are worth protecting, a Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this Earth”.

Robert Kraft Responds To Macklemore’s Challenge

5

Kraft said Sheeran had already contacted him about making a humanitarian contribution before Macklemore issued his public challenge. “I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting,” Kraft wrote on Instagram.

“Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit two million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis,” he continued.

Kraft said Sheeran planned to contact additional venue owners in an effort to raise more money. “Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners, and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges,” he explained.

Kraft also defended his record of supporting programs involving Palestinians and Israelis. “In addition, I’d like the people who are speaking in support of the Palestinian people to know that for decades, I have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs and forge relationships,” he added.

Kraft previously said the decision to block Macklemore from appearing at Gillette Stadium was not solely related to his advocacy for Palestinians. Instead, he cited a “broader history of anti-Semitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community”.

Ed Sheeran Says He Did Not Remove Macklemore

Sheeran addressed the mounting backlash on social media, insisting that Macklemore’s departure was beyond his control. He said “upcoming tour dates had communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting”.

Sheeran maintained that Macklemore’s removal was the promoter’s decision and denied personally ordering it. The 35-year-old singer insisted that he was “not complicit” and said he has his “personal views on this devastating conflict.”

Sheeran also said he was “appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine” and continued to respect Macklemore “as an artist.”

His next performance is scheduled for September 19 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Graham and Rowe had been expected to open the show before withdrawing.
