To keep from looking like Paul Bunyon, keep plaids small. Huge plaid patterns will make you look larger than you actually are. Also, make sure the top or dress you are wearing fits well. Wearing a baggy top will also do you no favors in the mountain woman department.

Plaids in different colors other than red will give your outfit a fun twist. You can find plaids in blue, gray, teal, pink and more. Red plaid is classic, just be sure you keep it minimal so you don't look like a Christmas present or logger.
