5 Ways to Style Plaid Pants

I bought my first pair of plaid pants this year and immediately started to wonder what to wear with plaid pants. Plaid is a beautiful and festive print, but it’s also a print that isn’t the most versatile. You have to put some thought into what you’re going to wear, you can’t just toss on and GO.

If you’re looking for plaid pants, these are the ones I bought and I love them. The price point is $19.99.

How to style printed pants

When it comes to buying prints, you need to make sure your outfit is balanced out. As much as I love print on print, it doesn’t always work. You need to make sure you have a look that is well balanced and works.

What do I mean?

When it comes to red plaid pants and what to wear with plaid pants, think about what solid colors will work best with the print.

Right off the top of my head I’m thinking what to wear with plaid pants, I’m thinking: blue, gray, black, white and red. These color options will work well with a plaided print. They will match and complement.

5 Ways to Style Plaid Pants

You wouldn’t want to wear pink or yellow or orange. There wouldn’t be an fashion cohesion. You want to make sure the colors from the pants aren’t lost with brighter more vibrant colors. This is why I go for more neutral and basic colors when I’m looking to match up plaid.

These 5 different looks are looks anyone can make work. These will help you with some fashion thought-starters when you grab your pants and wonder, “What to wear?”

Styling Plaid Pants:

Style #1: Denim Shirt. This is where my fashion mind went when I first wondered what to wear with plaid pants. Think of it this way, when you’re wearing a plaid shirt you usually gravitate towards jeans. So just reverse it for this style.

I personally love doing a tie knot, but you can tuck it in or wear it untucked and just opened. As you can tell it matches perfectly and really matches perfectly with the plaid pants. It’s a simple look, but one that you could easily wear to a holiday party or even to work.

Style #2: Black Blouse. You can always match a black blouse with anything. It’s a perfect staple to have in your closet and to wear with anything. What I love about pairing the black blouse with these plaid pants is that the darker colors from the plaid print pairs so well with it.

Remember it’s all about complementing pieces when you’re putting together an outfit. This just works beautifully together and it’s always a good idea to have those “standby” pieces that just go with everything and anything.

Style #3: White Blouse. I’m all about those staple pieces and a white basic blouse is one of those, too. Here’s another item that just goes with about everything. I love the pairing of these pieces because it’s just a simple outfit, perfect for work.

I’m someone who loves to to do a tie front, but you can do whatever you want. This blouse just worked well for me with a cute tie, but you can tuck it in or leave it tucked out. Simple, classic and pretty.

Style #4: Grey Wrap – Looking for a “fun” twist when wondering what to wear with plaid pants? This is a great look to try out for yourself. Take a beautiful sweater wrap (go with neutral colors) and wrap it up! I love the color grey with plaid because it’s just a simple and elegant match.

Style #5: Long (Black) Cardigan – I’m all about a cardigan. If you’ve followed me for awhile you already know that about me. Grabbing a longer cardigan (my advice would be a black one or a red one) is an elegant look. This is the kind of outfit you could wear to work or to an occasion event.

I love knowing that I can take this cardigan and wear it with a fabulous and fun print, but also pair it over a dress. It’s just a great piece to be able to have in your closet and wear over and over. I just wanted to make sure you saw how easy it is to pair with this plaid pants.
