Nothing says cozy and warm like wool plaid. Perhaps it is because we grew up with wool plaid throws which came to the rescue when there was a chill in the air - at the football games to cover the knees, or to the holiday parades as we waited for Santa Claus.
Here is a wool throw from L.L.Bean.
Wool plaid in fashion comes and goes, but I am sure most of us ladies at one time in our lives, wore a wool plaid kilt with a kilt pin.
Now, according to In Style, it's back! Plaid is a 2013 fall fashion trend.

Translating high fashion to home fashions, would mean wool plaid upholstery on a cozy wing chair. Maitland-Smith has two comfy chairs resplendent in wool plaid.
This handsome, classic chair has carved legs with claw and ball feet and is upholstered with colorful wool plaid as well as coordinating cognac leather.
Another cozy wing chair has a softer, muted color plaid with a taupe-colored leather and wood trim.
It's lines are straighter than the chair above, but either would look great in a library alone or a pair flanking a fireplace to add to the warmth.
As winter will soon be here - already they are predicting snow flurries here in the Piedmont of NC - grab your wool throw and pull your chair up to the fireplace - best choice, a wool plaid wing chair. A cup of hot chocolate, a crackling fire, a great novel and you are all set to enjoy being cozy and warm.
Elegant and distinctive pieces for your home today, with quality and style to last a
