00:00It may feel difficult to pull off plaid pants, but they're more versatile than you think
00:03and add some flair to a fall and winter wardrobe.
00:15Today I'm going to show you three ways to wear this specific pair.
00:18They're from Old Navy and I love them because the print is kind of wide, so they're easy
00:21to work with, but the fit is super modern.
00:23So to keep the plaid pants feeling fun and modern, I'm going to try to mix prints.
00:27I'm going to start with this turtleneck.
00:29Stripes and plaids may seem a little bit intimidating, but I think because they're in the same color
00:33palette it'll work.
00:34And to just make sure it's well balanced, I'm going to top the look off with this big
00:38blue coat.
00:38I'm going to complete the look with a pair of fun flats.
00:44So I love the way the flats in the coat play up the preppy vibe of the pants without taking
00:48it too overboard.
00:49Same with the printed top.
00:50The black and white patterns contrast, but because they're in the same color palette it
00:53keeps it looking sane.
00:54And I love the way the coat brings it all together.
00:56I would definitely wear this for a full day at the office.
01:03This first look is super polished, let's do something totally different.
01:06I'm going to try to play up the rocker vibe of the pants by going with a t-shirt.
01:10Something kind of vintage with a graphic print.
01:13And to play up that rocker vibe, I'll go for a leather jacket and finish it off with strappy
01:18heels.
01:22So the second look is totally different than the first.
01:25Throw on a little leather, a vintage t-shirt, and some heels.
01:28And the plaid goes from preppy to punky super fast.
01:30I love this look for a night out.
01:36So we've done preppy, we've done punky.
01:38And the last thing we think of when we think of plaid is kind of like a holiday cozy vibe.
01:42I'm going to start with these sparkly shoes.
01:44And I'm going to finish off the look with a Luxe silk top.
01:51I love this last look because it plays up the texture and the vibe of the plaid pants
01:55and transitions them perfectly for a holiday party.
01:57The off the shoulder silhouette makes it perfect for night.
02:00The sparkly shoes make the pants fun and festive.
02:02And I've even added a bright lip to polish off the look.
02:09Plaid pants add attitude into any look.
02:11And I really can't pick my favorite out of these three, so I'm just going to wear them
02:14all.
02:14See you next time.
