I like both colored tops with the plaid pants. I've also worn plaid pants with sneakers and a graphic tee for a fun casual look (you can see it<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---plaid-trousers-and-graphic-tees"> in this post, photo #4)</a>. If you have a graphic tee I think that could a nice casual outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376362 Fri, 13 Dec 2024 02:37:04 +0000 Janet 2376362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are great and look like they’d be quite season-spanning. And the pattern is so subtle it reads as a false plain, so I think your color choices are just fine! </p> <p>Your hair looks nice to me, but I know the feeling. I’m trying to grow the length of my longest layers a bit, but the top gets so heavy and sits all wrong some days. Today I took the razor to the top layers a bit so I’m hoping that gets me through to a January appointment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376361 Fri, 13 Dec 2024 02:27:01 +0000 Sal 2376361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaime and Bijou - my hair has been cut and coloured and I feel much better now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376306 Thu, 12 Dec 2024 09:48:11 +0000 Bijou 2376306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these pants even in the warmer weather because the white tuxedo stripe adds a freshness to them. You have beautiful hair, it looks great even when you are finding it a bit harder to manage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376292 Thu, 12 Dec 2024 07:55:00 +0000 Jaime 2376292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pants and I don't see any reason they shouldn't be worn with red - agree they read as a neutral. Your hair looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376261 Wed, 11 Dec 2024 22:48:47 +0000 Sal 2376261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn.&nbsp; I see them as quite neutral - not especially warm but not really cool either.&nbsp; They have a burgundy/brown stripe, a navy one, and a bit if a greeny/grey and a yellow one.&nbsp; My red top was okay but not perfect I think.</p> <p>I envisage wearing them with navy mainly, or maybe browns or creams.&nbsp; I think picking out the burgundy/brown would be nice but I don't really have tops in this colour at the moment.&nbsp; With the white side stripe a winter white or ecru top would look nice.&nbsp; Green might work too?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376205 Wed, 11 Dec 2024 04:16:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2376205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants and you wear them well!</p> <p>Do you think they have a cool undertone? I know how obsessed you are about tones They look cool on my phone. If they do, they might be easier to wear with cooler colours than warm colours. I could see them working really well with navy blue, emerald, more lemony yellows, cool brown, ecru. I think black will look good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376181 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 20:11:55 +0000 Sal 2376181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cookie - I think they will work well too.</p> <p>Suz - that can be the good thing with a plaid that almost everything goes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree Dee - I think they will work well for casual or dressing up with a navy blazer.&nbsp; I don't think they will be wonderful with black but I think they will get by.</p> <p>Thank you SlimCat - my eyes are so tired - need the glasses right now:(</p> <p>Thanks Irina - I am short of knitwear right now - and don't.&nbsp; Whilst they are not especially thick pants (I may need tights underneath in Chicago) they do read more autumnal and I agree the sleeves are better.</p> <p>Thank you Roberta and Christel - I think they will work well for both weekend or work depending on the styling.&nbsp; I plan to take these four pairs of pants plus two pairs of exercise leggings and one pair of rain pants.&nbsp; The black pants at the bottom are for the flying days which are long (12 hours plus) and these are warm, cosy and comfortable.&nbsp; I don't plan to take any skirts or dresses for the 11 days.</p> <p>Angie - haha!&nbsp; The hair is hit and miss right now - some days it looks good and some days it is very moplike.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376164 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 17:57:59 +0000 Angie 2376164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are awesome! Love the tuxedo stripe! Go Team Wear! The blue shirt looks especially good with them. White sneakers and off-white bag are a punchy finishing touch :)</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> your hair is looking fabulous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376162 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 17:49:21 +0000 Angie 2376162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to laugh at "not tonal" in the title of this thread.....</p> <p>:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376152 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:44:35 +0000 ChristelJ 2376152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, ooh, fantastic pants! I really like how cheeky they are with sneakers. I hope you do take them on your trip as they have a lot of personality and I'm sure can be dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376149 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:38:38 +0000 Roberta 2376149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, those pants are terrific! I love a side stripe, and you never see it with a print. You will get a lot of use out of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376131 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 03:10:33 +0000 Irina 2376131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pants, Sal! Like the colors. Probably, I prefer it a bit more with a blue shirt. Not because of the color, the long sleeves look somewhat more fitting. Do you have a dark brown top or a sweater? Would look lovely with it if you have one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376129 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 02:58:43 +0000 slim cat 2376129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants - like them with blue shirt slightly more but both options work well! The fab sunglasses harmonize perfectly with outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376126 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 02:40:03 +0000 Dee 2376126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looking pants Sal, just the right amount of casual. The colors in the plaid seem quite versatile and should work great for your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376121 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 02:13:19 +0000 Suz 2376121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are great, Sally! I think they do work with red. Why not?&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on the hair situation. Mine is in terrible shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376118 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 01:53:28 +0000 Cookie 2376118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! They would be especially good with the brown boots (which are fab). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-days-at-work---not-tonal#post-2376117 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 01:35:47 +0000 Sal 2376117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luckily I have a few quiet days at work and sometimes an easy outfit is just what is needed.</p> <p>I found these plaid pants on heavy discount a week ago, and whilst they are more autumnal or even wintery for our climate, I could not resist wearing them because I want to try them out.</p> <p>First wear was with the blue denim shirt, second with a new red tee (Maple tee from AS Colour, which I already have in black and white)</p> <p>When I put it on I thought there was a red stripe in the plaid but no, it's yellow, blue and brown.  But I don't think it matters.</p> <p>The shoes and bag are the same, the hair is in need of a reshape and colour which is happening on Friday.  </p> <p>I am hoping these pants work with my navy and black tops and my brown and black boots for my upcoming trip to the US for work.  Not the most exciting of combinations but a practical one for January.</p> <p>Wearing two neutrals and a colour, or a two plains and a pattern is my go to - I don't even think about it - and many of my outfits are comprised his way.  </p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
