I have a weakness for plaid myself. I always gravitate toward it. Don't currently have it in my wardrobe though so I'm excited to see how you decide to style it.<br /> When I saw them I thought of Kasmira of "What I Wore". I love her blog. I searched her site and found some outfits that might give you some ideas. </p> <p><a href="http://whatiwore2day.blogspot.com/2007/01/plaid-mad.html" rel="nofollow">http://whatiwore2day.blogspot......d-mad.html</a><br /> <a href="http://whatiwore2day.blogspot.com/2008/10/bus-bundling.html" rel="nofollow">http://whatiwore2day.blogspot......dling.html</a></p> <p>As I think someone else mentioned you probably will want to keep everything else simple. I was wondering if incorporating a touch of lace might work? I agree with Louise...I would try to add a girly/feminine edge as one possiblility at least.</p> <p>Have fun with it...can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116349 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:52:40 +0000 Sihaya 116349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about with a denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116344 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:44:02 +0000 shana 116344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are very cute &amp; totally workable. I wouldn't do the polo shirt route - a bit too Miffy from the Preppy Handbook and you don't seem very punk to me so I can't see you in docs &amp; a moto jacket either. I like the idea of glamming them up a bit - maybe a more sophisticated leather jacket (not necessarily a hardcore moto style but something a little softer) or a cute shrunken BF blazer plus a graphic tee + cute ballet flats? I hate recreating looks exactly from a previous incarnation - I think it's important to modernize in some way.</p> <p>Ugh, Louise, that skinhead pic is sooo creepy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116294 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:33:51 +0000 yublocka 116294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with others. As long as they fit your great, these are workable. I see them as a coloured version of the ubiquitous CM microchecks many ladies on the forum here own. I see black with it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116214 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:26:55 +0000 Isabel 116214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that these are great. I agree that they have to fit really well, if they don't, have them tailored. An fun option would be change the silhouette and have them tailored into capris that narrow at the ankle, a la Hepburn or Jackie O...then you could do polo shirts, a white cotton shirt, even a denim shirt.</p> <p>Otherwise, besides punk, which I love, would be a jean jacket ( a dark one ) with various color t-shirts. I also love the idea of one of those lightweight open cardigans that everyone is doing right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116193 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:55:11 +0000 elpgal 116193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a friend who wears them with a tee, blazer and pearls. I am style-challenged so not sure if that is a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116180 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:13:27 +0000 Maya 116180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Lousie. I wore this look when I was 16 and I can't help but feel that I'd rather see it done differently today. In other words, lose the black combat boots and tough edge and go for something more unexpected. Otherwise, it becomes a costume and you'll look silly trying to do punk rock from head to toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116177 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:10:30 +0000 Angie 116177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. I'm all over that punk look. Love it. </p> <p>Back to pants. Lets see them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116160 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:35:12 +0000 Louise 116160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy i get skinhead vibes from that. Not sure if this was just in the uk but there were groups of 'skinheads' who wore tartan trousers, doc martins, leather jackets, studs etc. They were prevalent in the 80's not so much now i don't think.<br /> This piccie isn't with the tartan trousers but you get my drift<br /> <a href="http://conservativehome.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451b31c69e201156f33e896970c-250wi" rel="nofollow">http://conservativehome.blogs......970c-250wi</a></p> <p>Edit- Personally i think they need a bit of a softer, girly edge like the idea of perhaps a tunic x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116156 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:29:39 +0000 chewyspaghetti 116156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my instinct is to pair it with something black and tough- stud belt, black boots or a moto jacket. (But that might just be because I wore a pair of plaid bondage pants to death back in the day.)<br /> How about sticking out from under a simple tunic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116155 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:28:53 +0000 Dashrashi 116155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say it depends how they fit. Plaid can also have a punk/rock edge, if that helps generate any ideas. I also think plaid is a pattern that can be mixed well with other "conservative" patterns, like unobtrusive pinstripes, houndstooth, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116152 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:18:58 +0000 Louise 116152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to see them in some outfits too they are such a statement piece i'm guessing keep the top fairly plain/ neutral? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-pants-cute-or-golfing-gear#post-116151 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:17:22 +0000 Queen Mum 116151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try putting together some outfits with stuff in your closet and post some pics!

I'll admit to wearing them with a sweater and pearls (oh, how unoriginal). Looking at them with new eyes though, I wonder... are they redeemable or should they be consigned to preppy oblivion?</p> <p>And if they can be made cool, how would you style these?</p> <p><a href="http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f33/BethWT/plaid.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s44.photobucket.com/alb...../plaid.jpg</a> </p>
