It’s official… the plaid print is really back in style. Just take the cue from stylish moms Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba. They were spotted on separate occasions wearing plaid-printed button down tops while out playing with their kids.

First stop is the 41-year-old Dallas Buyers Club actress who was seen out with her eldest daughter Violet as they made their way to the Brentwood Public Library just last Saturday. Jennifer wore a red and black plaid button-down top, which she casually paired with jeans and wedge sneakers.

The very next day, the 32-year-old Machete Kills actress stepped out with her adorable daughters as they enjoyed a warm sunny day at a farmer’s market in Venice.

Jessica opted for a breezier look consisting of a blue and white plaid button-down that she also wore with jeans and sneakers.
