Due to popular demand I'm making this week Only Men's week hence I will be mostly fashion tips posting mostly for men. I know I've been pretty unfair posting only about women but that's all about to change. My first post on Men's Fashion will be on plaids.
Prints are in vogue this season. And checks and stripes can as well be our first pick. A plaid or checkered shirt will add that much needed pattern in your wardrobe and should definitely be worn in different ways this season.
Some of you may be thinking "Hey, I'm not trying to look like a westcoast thug", but trust me, as long as it's not buttoned up to the top and you aren't wearing a blue or red bandanna then I'm sure you'll be okay (just don't start walking like a thug on the streets, lol).
Plaid is a bold and sharp choice of pattern and we always encourage a man who is willing to take a risk. So go plaid, go bold and leave the boring behind. Whether you wearing a plaid tie, pant, blazer or shirt, the number one tip is to style it perfectly.
TIP: If you’re plaid-timid, try a classic shirt or tie. Leave the plaid trousers to the experts or golfers. Even if you’re fearless, limit yourself to one plaid pattern per outfit.
Do's And Don't
● Always wear the right fit – not too tight not too lose, just right. Look yourself in the mirror and you will know instantly if the fit is not perfect.
● Wear a solid coloured T-shirt inside your plaid shirt and pair it with denims for a basic casual day look.
● First rule of checks- avoid pairing your plaid with plaid! Make one piece the star of your outfit and let it speak for itself.
● Do not wear your plaid shirt tucked in. It just looks awkward. Avoid the clash of similar colours in one outfit.
● For a casual day look, pair a white dress shirt with straight-leg cut plaid shorts, a skinny tie and loafers.
● Get a plaid tie to go with your neutral suit or pair it with a monochrome outfit to break the colour pattern. Pair your plaid shirt with solid coloured pants and avoid other prints.
● Make it classic but not formal
When it comes in a slim contemporary cut and bold (but not
loud) colors, a plaid blazer can inject
pizzazz into even the most pedestrian outfit.
And a nice pair of shoes or a simple accessory like a wristwatch, bracelet or hat could complete the look making you stylish and ready to go. So guys have fun wearing your plaids.
