BUT I have had a unique cowl &nbsp;"V" neck and big buttons down on the back baby cord navy dress in college that I designed myself, wore it &nbsp;proud and felt special and different in. But, you know, &nbsp;that had been a very clever cut and only looking like was I was wearing it backwards front but &nbsp;really I wasn't! It had some seams on the bust/waist and hips...so all good and comfy:-)...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752450 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:21:49 +0000 tulle 1752450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way she looks, but it would drive me crazy to feel choked at the neck like that. Agree with UmmLila that it's reminiscent of the puffer-slipped-off-the-shoulders photo-shoot style:&nbsp; appealing mostly to the very young and discomfort-impervious?&nbsp; Something about that mock-turtleneck effect in a loose plaid woven shirt IS fresh, though.&nbsp; I can see why it made you stop and look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752448 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:20:54 +0000 Anonymous 1752448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At church today I was sitting behind a college aged young lady wearing a classic cardigan backwards so it was buttoned up the back.

If I were in a very fashion forward environment, I might try something like this too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752441 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 1752441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have really enjoyed reading all the comments and see straight jacket and child's painting smock. Shedev, I also would really like to see this from the back. The little bit of white at the neckline makes me wonder if she is wearing a white blouse underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752388 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 00:20:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1752388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a lot of that look and the puffer off the shoulders look in blogger world. Both seem like the sort of thing one could sustain for a couple of minutes for a photo, and then return to the ordinary way of wearing clothes to be comfortable and cover the body for the current season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752355 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 22:13:54 +0000 Style Fan 1752355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to think about what people would say about me if I did that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752351 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 22:07:34 +0000 cindysmith 1752351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Straightjacket is a good way to describe it. I mean, maybe if I had a smaller chest I might think about trying it because I do like some pretty eccentric stuff. But definitely a "no" for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards/page/2#post-1752339 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 20:48:30 +0000 Anonymous 1752339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In all honesty, I would feel stupid doing that.

I intentionally wore my shirt backward when I interviewed for the job I have. It was a patterned shell with a very low neck. I wanted the pattern but not the cleavage, so I flipped it around and wore a jacket over it.</p> <p>But, wearing a button-down shirt backwards is a non starter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards#post-1752298 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 18:41:56 +0000 shedev 1752298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a super conventional dresser, and I like versatile clothing items, so&nbsp;might wear a plaid shirt backwards, but not a plaid button down. Thinking about it, I haven't worn anything that touches&nbsp;my neck in years. I really do want to see this from the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards#post-1752291 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 18:33:12 +0000 BrieN 1752291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's funny the pant leg hems are mixed. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards#post-1752283 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 18:15:12 +0000 Anonymous 1752283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe if the pants were worn backward, too, like Kris Kross?&nbsp; Um, no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-wear-a-plaid-shirt-backwards#post-1752281 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 18:11:32 +0000 rachylou 1752281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes me slightly nauseous. Kinda horror film - spinning heads stuff. Although, it's funny, with a few sewing tweaks, I could see this as being fashionable. But this pic, I feel like I'm being choked.</p> <p>Also: I think this may be the one time when 'trying too hard' would not be a mean, but rather helpful, statement... lol.
