Yes, the pants are certainly versatile and I'm looking forward to them being workhorses!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Zaeobi</b>, yes, the diagonal lines definitely draw the eye in different directions, but are subtle.</p> <p><b>Unfrumped</b>, I like the idea of not hemming the pants too short so there is a break over the shoe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258742 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 19:18:55 +0000 JAileen 2258742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sweaters. &nbsp;And the vest will be great, too. &nbsp;Keep all three for variety. &nbsp;I just love the pants. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258715 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 16:09:30 +0000 whidbeygirl 2258715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second sweater with the houndstooth is stunning. And I agree with others these pants are going to go well with a lot of other options too! &nbsp;Great choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258695 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 13:23:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2258695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants!&nbsp; Lots of good advice already regarding length, I prefer them with the 2nd jumper.&nbsp; I know you want to pattern mix but these are going to be so versatile with any solid color you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258690 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 12:56:00 +0000 unfrumped 2258690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pattern mix!<br /> I agree hem pants for sneakers so don’t trip or ruin the hems, but for me I’d do that with some break over the shoe, so a touch slouchy but not as much pooling as in your photo. A sweet spot.<br /> I also like the second sweater and vest. But I think you will find other patterns that work - the pants are a great base for that. Very fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258687 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 12:10:46 +0000 Zaeobi 2258687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the second jumper - I like how the diagonal lines feel dynamic without overwhelming the other pattern. I like it with both the pointed toe &amp; white trainers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258444 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 16:27:29 +0000 Angie 2258444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOOD to see your fab head and face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258387 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 02:57:11 +0000 Anonymous 2258387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachylou said. &nbsp;I like the color-block or the sweater vest best and love the white boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258383 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 02:39:52 +0000 Sal 2258383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I preferred the second sweater too - it looks awesome on you.&nbsp; And I ilke the white boots and sneakers best, but the black are fine too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Really good sharp but practical look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258378 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 02:27:42 +0000 BlueJay 2258378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for your suggestions, advice and compliments! I like the idea of being able to wear BOTH the sneakers and the boots and not having to choose. Lots of love for the grey sweater!</p> <p><b>Rachylou</b>, yes, there is something strange about the B&amp;W sweater. Maybe it is the horizontal line that doesn't really work. It was an interesting shift with the colourblock sweater because of the diagonal lines.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Angie</b>! A pic of me with a head and a face.</p> <p><b>merwoman</b>, I believe I saw you in a vest similar to this one and you looked great in it! I think I would pair it with jeans too. Can't wait for it to arrive. I will definitely post pics. I'm taking a sip of the koolaid... :)</p> <p>Thanks <b></b><b>Lana</b><b></b><b>, slim cat, Brooklyn</b>, and <b>Jaime </b>for your kind words.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258375 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 01:20:42 +0000 Jaime 2258375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everyone said really, and ditto Brooklyn.

I love them with the second colourblock sweater.

And the white shirt is a crisp and fab touch.</p> <p>What <b>Rachy</b> said.</p> <p>In these outfits, the white footwear looks best to me too! I think you can safely hem an inch and a half, to two inches of the pants and be sorted for both sneakers and boots.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258322 Thu, 07 Apr 2022 20:29:20 +0000 rachylou 2258322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. First I prefer the second sweater - I like the contrast, simplicity and strength of the colour blocks. The first, the design, the width of the lines, seems the wrong scale - not the same but not different enough. However, I LOVE the houndstooth vest.</p> <p>For full length trousers, I rather think I’d go for hemming them for the sneakers. That way you’ll never trip. If you want to be knife sharp, then I’d pick a heel height and stick with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q#post-2258320 Thu, 07 Apr 2022 20:13:16 +0000 BlueJay 2258320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fell in love and became obsessed with outfit #4 from last year's post about pattern mixing plaid pants, so I bought a pair of plaid, houndstooth pants for Fall and Winter (yes, it's spring, but there are also <i>sales</i> on.) :)&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2021/01/08/outfit-formula-pattern-mixed-plaid-pants/">https://youlookfab.com/2021/01.....aid-pants/</a></p> <p>My pants need hemming, but I like full length pants. The first question is, do I need to commit to shoes for a pant length? I like the pants best with white footwear. The white boots (Pics 3 &amp; 6) are 2" high, so if I hem the pants about 1/4" from the ground and then wear them with runners, the pants will pool around my ankles, which seems to be the style these days.<br />Pics 3 &amp; 6: White Boots<br />Pics 4 &amp; 7: White Adidas runners<br />Pics 5 &amp; 8: Black and white On runners</p> <p>After trying on two or three different black and white argyle sweaters, I decided they weren't for me. I bought these two other sweaters to see if they would work with the pants and I've layered them over a white shirt, but I'm not sure about them either and need an opinion.&nbsp;</p> <p>The black and white sweater is very sporty and the sleeves are full length. The colour blocked grey sweater has 3/4 dolman sleeves and some bling running down the right diagonal line.</p> <p>I have on order the houndstooth vest that I thought would be cute to echo (rather than mix patterns) the smaller houndstooth in the pants, but then I would return the two sweaters. I also like the idea that the vest has a v-neck.</p> <p>Any and all thoughts are welcome (including other ideas)!</p> <p>Thank you!&nbsp;</p>
