So I think that although plaid is a classic (from preppy to grunge!), I can see how it can read junior if one isn't careful. Just depends on the styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035772 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 18:40:32 +0000 Janet 1035772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh. I have a couple of plaid shirts I really like, and I think as long as they're not styled in a teenage way, they're perfectly age appropriate. Keep the fit and the styling sophisticated yet casual, and I can see them working perfectly well for any age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035696 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:36:10 +0000 Glory 1035696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks ladies. I do love the soft flannel idea of a plaid shirt for our winters.&nbsp;<br />The first one (cobalt and black) is from garage.&nbsp;<br />The second one is Old Navy - very soft thin flannel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035672 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:06:12 +0000 rachylou 1035672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way. I'm sure they meant *grunge* is too teeny bopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035659 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:57:53 +0000 amiable 1035659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pshaw! &nbsp;I love them. &nbsp;WEar them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035637 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:43:11 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1035637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I certainly hope they are not for teens only --&nbsp;I love the cobalt one as well. &nbsp;I'd like to pick up a similar style for Fall and&nbsp;Winter weekend wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035633 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:40:43 +0000 Kristin L 1035633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything screaming teen about these shirts. I wear mine with my denim leggings (they are tunic length) and flats or boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you mind if I ask where the 2nd one is from? I love those colors.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035625 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:36:26 +0000 Aziraphale 1035625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh? &nbsp;Whut? &nbsp;Who made that rule? &nbsp;</p> <p>Glory, age is not a limiting factor with plaid shirts. &nbsp;Like Sveta says, style might be limiting. &nbsp;They skew casual. &nbsp;I have two, and I wear them regularly, loose and untucked&nbsp;over skinny jeans and casual flat short boots. &nbsp;I NEVER feel inappropriately dressed in them in an age-related sense, but I wouldn't wear them if I was going for smart casual. &nbsp;They are perfect, however, for art school casual. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035585 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 14:23:07 +0000 Sveta 1035585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are casual classic and therefore do not have an age limit. They do have style limit though: I cannot make them work for my style no matter how I try!:-)<br />I really like the cobalt one and if it fits your style persona - go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035582 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 14:14:09 +0000 cinnamon fern 1035582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too junior in the right context - just make sure your whole outfit is not something a 14 year old would wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035578 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 14:05:27 +0000 kellygirl 1035578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think plaid spans all ages--especially the ones you show. I like the blue and black one the best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035577 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 14:03:23 +0000 Peri 1035577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My very 54 year old friend wears them because her uber-stylish college age daughters bought her some and insisted she wear them. I don't think anything about them screams teen so I'm confused about the WNTW comment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035572 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 14:00:18 +0000 Isis 1035572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh?&nbsp; Who made the rule of no plaid shirts after age 20 (?!?)&nbsp; <br />Keep one; these are classics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-plaid-shirts-too-teen-kr#post-1035568 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:58:01 +0000 Glory 1035568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agh - second guessing myself again. I just purchased 2 plaid shirts (pics below) and was planning to keep one. I thought they would be a great fall/winter topper. But maybe I am wrong.<br />Last night I watched "what not to wear" which might have been a mistake. They were pretty clear that Plaid shirts are much too teen/junior - and they were talking about a 25 year old.<br />Ladies - what do you think? I am more than double that age.<br />Should I keep one or return?</p>
