Yes, houndstooth is classic, so I'll keep trying it different ways over the years.&nbsp;</p> <p>merwoman, yes, I had forgotten about white jeans! Thanks for the reminder.</p> <p>Thanks Jaime and Janet! Janet, you'll have to send me your tailor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2263016 Fri, 13 May 2022 13:38:43 +0000 Janet 2263016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! Especially the houndstooth vest. I haven't worn mine much, but it was inexpensive so I don't mind it being a sometimes-wear. Those wide leg trousers are so great. Good luck finding a new tailor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262963 Fri, 13 May 2022 02:39:31 +0000 Jaime 2262963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great with trousers and jeans - great pick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262955 Fri, 13 May 2022 01:03:48 +0000 merwoman 2262955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great vest, love your styling. Fit of the vest is great, the one I have is looser, and I’d prefer a slimmer fit like you have. Try it with white jeans as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262951 Thu, 12 May 2022 23:39:06 +0000 Suz 2262951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both these options with the pants! Great outfits!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on the fast fashion. I just ordered a few items from a fast fashion emporium myself and have been feeling the guilt, while also recognizing that I tend to wear that stuff for a long time as long as it doesn't wear out. I think the vest is something that could be kept for a long time, bringing it in and out of rotation as desired.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262949 Thu, 12 May 2022 21:24:54 +0000 BlueJay 2262949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, yes, I've owned only a couple of vests, but they may be the way to go if I continue to run hot. haha!</p> <p>Thank you Bonnie, rachylou, and RobinF.</p> <p>Inge, thank you. It's certainly easier if you receive a recommendation from someone. I'm sure I'll find someone.</p> <p>Thanks Joy. I believe merwoman and Janet styled similar vests with jeans. Also, if you really want one, I just bought it from here:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ca.shein.com/V-Neck-Houndstooth-Pattern-Sweater-Vest-p-1893620-cat-3687.html?url_from=caadplaswtop04201121195L&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwrCW7_Ha9wIVGu3jBx2vNgaGEAQYASABEgJUdfD_BwE">https://ca.shein.com/V-Neck-Ho.....rom=caadpl</a><br />I had never bought from them before and this was the only thing I purchased. It took about three weeks to arrive. Also, I'm feeling a bit guilty for buying fast-fashion, but I do tend to keep things for a very long time (decades!) so trying not to feel too guilty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262948 Thu, 12 May 2022 20:37:39 +0000 Anonymous 2262948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a look-alike vest at H&amp;M but, sadly, did not buy it. &nbsp;I am sorry now. &nbsp;I like the way you have styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262947 Thu, 12 May 2022 20:35:08 +0000 RobinF 2262947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great vest, I really like it both ways. I quite like the sweater also but hate feeling uncomfortable so returning makes sense.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262945 Thu, 12 May 2022 20:26:16 +0000 Inge 2262945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The vest looks fantastic on you, and I love that entire outfit: the pattern mixing is fab! Stunning trousers too. Like you, I also love the movement the second sweater adds. And such a shame about your seamstress. Really hope you can find someone new who is just as capable and knowledgeable.</div><div>Outfit 3 with the jeans is equally fab. Thanks so much for your update!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262943 Thu, 12 May 2022 19:52:09 +0000 rachylou 2262943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the houndstooth is a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262939 Thu, 12 May 2022 19:23:55 +0000 Bonnie 2262939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are great and very inspiring. So glad you shared the results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262935 Thu, 12 May 2022 17:55:37 +0000 JAileen 2262935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the vest, and love it with both pairs of pants. &nbsp;The plaid on plaid is fabulous. &nbsp;I like vests because they give some warmth, but aren’t too hot. &nbsp;I’m wearing on right now (Patagonia fleece vest). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262926 Thu, 12 May 2022 16:19:29 +0000 BlueJay 2262926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>approprio, yes, I should have done without the tuck pics. I think it would look ok. Will have to post without tuck pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262924 Thu, 12 May 2022 16:08:34 +0000 approprio 2262924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! You had me with the houndstooth and the Prince of Wales check. How does the vest do without the tuck?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/following-up-plaid-pants-houndstooth-vest#post-2262923 Thu, 12 May 2022 15:48:32 +0000 BlueJay 2262923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am remiss with following up as requested by some, for this previous post about pattern mixing with a houndstooth vest and plaid pants, so here it is!&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pattern-mix-plaid-pants-and-another-pant-length-q">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....t-length-q</a></p> <p>I like the vest, I think it will be very versatile with other outfits and can be easily mixed and matched. Partial tuck because the pants are high rise and wide leg, but don't want to feel bulky around the middle. Also, I tend to run hot so this is a more realistic warm-but-not-too-hot outfit.</p> <p>Unfortunately, my seamstress permanently closed so I'm on the hunt for someone new to hem the pants. She was so talented and knowledgeable and was able to alter all kinds of items. She smoothed out gathered shoulders for a leather coat! Finding someone with that level of skill will not be easy.</p> <p>The black and white sweater was returned. Pic #2 added colourblock sweater again for easier side-by-side comparison. I really like the diagonal movement of the sweater, but after posting selfies I felt really hot, especially with the shirt underneath. However, our place is too warm so out in other settings it will probably be fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic #3 for fun.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Suggestions are always welcome.&nbsp;Thanks for looking! </p>
