Gaylene, I think a chunky knit would look great with them.</p> <p>My problem is shoes for casual wear if Cons won't work, especially with the wider leg pair. I can wear ballet flats or slipper style loafers with the straight leg pair, but I don't care for how they look with the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761451 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:34:50 +0000 moira 761451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are a perfect foil for pattern mixing.<br /> I think that pattern is a timeless classic and never goes out of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761400 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:41:15 +0000 Raisin 761400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair too! I think they're fairly timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761394 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:33:17 +0000 Gaylene 761394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe Angie's ideas on wearing a chunky knit sweater could keep those pants in a casual vibe? <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/10/11/the-skinny-on-chunky-knit-pullovers/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/10/.....pullovers/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761388 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:21:38 +0000 CK 761388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, my lifestyle is very casual Gaylene. I suppose I could hang on to them for when I need a dressier pant... which hasn't been for years now, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761383 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:15:31 +0000 Gaylene 761383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those micro-checks are a traditional men's wear pattern that, if in a trouser-style pant, is a classic look for both men and women. As long as you enjoy that masculine vibe, I think those pants could stay in your wardrobe a long time.</p> <p>ETA: Just read your comment about wanting to wear them with Cons. That particular casual/dressy mix is probably what would date the outfit more than the items themselves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761376 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:10:37 +0000 biscuitsmom 761376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761375 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:08:29 +0000 CK 761375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good! And I suppose I should clarify that I mean still in as a casual pant with Cons, etc., as opposed to a dressier work pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761369 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:05:47 +0000 Jem 761369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope they are still in because I just bought a black pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-micro-checks-still-in#post-761365 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:03:49 +0000 CK 761365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am organizing my closet and came across my micro-check pants that I haven't worn in a long time. Are they still "in"? They are the exact ones from the Gap that Angie recommended in her post from...4 years ago!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/08/21/casual-micro-check-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/08/.....eck-pants/</a></p> <p>I have both the wider leg black ones and the straight leg brown ones. The wider leg ones I have worn in the past with grey Cons and the narrower ones with ballet flats. Both I tend to wear with a solid color top - black,white or brown, like a pullover sweater or long sleeve tee and a jacket of some sort - I have worn a black moto jacket, white moto jacket, and red cropped military jacket (with the wide leg ones).</p> <p>Are they in or out, do you think? And if still in, should I style them any differently? </p>
