Much how you styled the buggy pants, actually! Maybe the silver booties could work?<br /> I like Angie's neutral idea. If you go too casual matchy-matchy it might look a bit like a tshirt PJ set or Lands End preppy separates IYKWIM. For example they should technically "go" with the ombré pink shirt but I think the overall effect is maybe a bit too relaxed/cute. Moto is a bit more unexpected which is good. Can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1188087 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 22:23:30 +0000 Vicki 1188087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the world of plaid bottoms! &nbsp;I have a couple of tartan pairs and I love them and have worn a black top with both as well as white (tuxedo shirt and loose knit top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1188044 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:39:25 +0000 Angie 1188044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the check and fit of the pants. I'd love to see them a dash&nbsp;shorter though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wear them with white or dark neutrals on top to offset the pajama effect. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187945 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 20:03:26 +0000 rabbit 1187945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>swoon over the jacket. &nbsp;Love to see a photo of you in it, as I'm looking for a lighter colored jacket too. &nbsp;Is there any green in the blue?&nbsp;</p> <p>I second <b>missvee</b> and would wear shoes that look good with the length of the&nbsp;pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187843 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 18:43:22 +0000 Andrea W 1187843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the input. I now have much food for thought. I've been inspired to have a look through my spring clothes as I'm sure I have loads to go with the trousers and jacket.</p> <p>Angie, I've just tried them on to check the length and have posted pics below of them on me. I am still undecided as to whether they're veering into PJ territory or not! But they are growing on me.</p> <p>PS the jacket is very similar to the one in your ensemble post today but mine is from River island and I think your one may be Miss Selfridge. Not much difference between the two styles though. Both are gorgeous styles and colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187758 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:05:17 +0000 Angie 1187758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used that jacket on today's ensemble post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are the pants ankle length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187742 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:32:28 +0000 Thistle 1187742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third Janet.&nbsp; And wow, that is a <i>gorgeous </i>jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187740 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:30:00 +0000 deb 1187740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187696 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:55:54 +0000 Janet 1187696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of them with that jacket. Oxfords or loafers, white shirt, and you're set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187621 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:50:52 +0000 missvee 1187621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love both pieces and I don't think they're too "out there " at all. Tanya has given you some great ideas. I'd like to see them with a simple, plain black or white top, with black, white or metallic shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187529 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:56:15 +0000 Tanya 1187529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those pants and love the jacket even more!&nbsp; I am actually going to PM you about the jacket as I am considering getting it myself.</p> <p>I think you have a lot of freedom when it comes to styling those pants.&nbsp; Barious white tops/knits, denim skirts, navy or blue white shirts or knits etc.<br />In terms of shoes all sorts of flats - loafers, slipper flats, or booties, particulrly in white/cream shades to echo the white of the pants.</p> <p>Angie has had a couple of outfits posted with a par of fabulous yellow tartan pants, so maybe look at those for inspiration:<br />1. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/28/degrees-of-casual-in-sporty-spring-tartan/" rel="nofollow">Here</a> with white top, denim jacket and white sneakers, which should work great with your pants as well<br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/04/17/tea-and-temples-in-kyoto/" rel="nofollow">2. Here</a> with denim shirt, black moto and flat oxfords.&nbsp; For your pants I might go with navy/grey moto.<br />3. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/02/10/fashion-week-day-1/" rel="nofollow">Here</a> with black turtleneck, moto and light booties.&nbsp; Again, I would substitute the blacks for navy.</p> <p>Let us know what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187524 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:51:28 +0000 unfrumped 1187524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are out there but so cool if you can wear them-- the colors are great. And the jacket!<br /> You didn't say what occasions/ venues. Since I go for flat or low heels I would wear a modern loafer or a pointy-ish flat; some people might do a higher- heeled pump or dressier shoe becausevit would look good to juxtapose the more feminine footwear with these pants. . Oxfords would work with the pant style, but with the plaid but you'd have perhaps too much golf course vibe.<br /> I would focus on the right color. It's a multicolor plaid so forvsore there sre lots of colors that would " go", but if the lighter band is at the hem, I'd try to match that color intensity and use a nude or dark cream or similar for leg line and to non- compete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checkplaid-trousers---what-should-i-wear-with-these-help#post-1187466 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:41:52 +0000 Andrea W 1187466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These just arrived today (River Island -&nbsp;Cigarette Pants). &nbsp;I was torn between them being too much like golfing trousers and actually loving them. &nbsp;The colours are very spring like and they fit well.</p> <p>However, I'm at a bit of a loss as to whether they are 'too much' and would be hard to style. &nbsp;Can anyone give their opinions/suggestions for what I should pair with them? &nbsp;Especially in terms of what kind of shoes/boots I should try with them.</p> <p>I would be most grateful for any advice. &nbsp;Although I think they go fabulously with the new duck egg blue leather jacket I got from River Island at the same time (on 20% discount!!). &nbsp;See 2nd pic.</p> <p> </p>
