Geometric prints in clothing are gradually returning to fashion, which makes checkered shirts a real must-have for every woman. With their help, you can create both a strict and light youth “street” look, the main thing is to know how and with what a denim shirt goes best.
What to wear with a plaid shirt
The key to creating a spectacular image is the right choice of clothing. When going shopping for a brand new plaid shirt, you need to focus on the following selection criteria:
- Material. The ideal shirts, whether plaid or other patterns, are flannel or cotton shirts. The more natural the better; synthetics often look cheap and not aesthetically pleasing.
- Length. Too short models are suitable only for young girls; everyone else needs to focus on the classics - length below the waist (to mid-thigh).
- Size. The shirt must meet at the chest, even if this part of the body is very voluminous and prominent.
- Drawing. There are several types of checkered patterns:
- small, which looks better on tall and slender young ladies;
- large, which visually slims and hides “unnecessary”;
- Scottish, which is universal.
Important! A rich assortment of models can confuse even an avid fashionista. You need to try on the item you like and think about which of the items in your wardrobe it will look best with.
Selecting the bottom, general rules
If you think about which bottom is more suitable for a plaid skirt, two options can be rejected immediately:
- Checkered skirts. Basic rules for selecting clothes prohibit wearing two items with a checkered pattern at the same time. As an addition, you can use an accessory (belt, bag, wallet), but not trousers or a skirt. A successful combination can be achieved, but it is extremely rare.
- Floor-length chiffon skirts. Pairing with such a skirt can make a woman look like a hippie and a fan of the boho style. As you know, these styles are rarely to anyone’s taste.
Attention should be paid to the color scheme. Under a bright shirt, red or purple checkered, you need to choose a calmer and more neutral bottom. If the top of the outfit is made of neutral black and white or black and brown fabrics, the skirt or pants can be a little brighter. Multi-colored items are perfectly complemented by details that repeat one of its shades.
Important! The combination of tartans with sweatpants, shorts (jeans don’t count) and evening dresses is considered absolute bad taste.
Pants, jeans, overalls
A truly classic combination is a red checkered women's shirt with blue jeans. The cowboy look is comfortable and versatile; it can be used for shopping, walking around the city, visiting or going to the movies.
A checkered shirt worn with ripped jeans or leather trousers will help create a youthful and bold look. A leather jacket and high-soled boots will help complement the punk rock style.
For strict business ladies, fitted models in discreet tones are suitable, which look good together with trousers made of suit fabrics. You can wear something brighter under the jacket.
To highlight your figure, you can wear a checkered top under tight skinnies or fashionable denim overalls. Such outfits are especially cute when they highlight the figures of pregnant girls, who consider overalls to be one of the most comfortable types of clothing.
Skirts
One of the most popular and successful combinations, according to stylists, is a checkered shirt and a pleated skirt. Correctly selected shoes and accessories help to place accents in this look.
For the office or school, you should choose a strict pencil model, which also fits perfectly on almost every figure. A woman's shirt can be tucked in or worn untucked, slightly belted with a thin belt. If you choose the option in which the shirt is tucked in, then the skirt should be high-waisted (this is very fashionable).
Denim skirts, like trousers, are classics. Checkered shirts look great with denim skirts of any length and shape. A bold mini or a pedantic godet – the choice is up to the woman and her mood.
Shoes, accessories
The choice of shoes for a plaid shirt depends on the entire look:
- For the office, stiletto heeled pumps or ankle boots with high and thick heels are suitable;
- for walking, you can choose regular sneakers or low-speed boots;
- A romantic look with a shirt worn over a mini skirt will be complemented by ballet flats or moxins.
Accessories are selected according to the same principle.You can decorate the chest line with voluminous and massive necklaces worn over a buttoned collar. Girls who have long hair can braid it and secure it with a checkered fabric elastic band. For those who like to wear their hair loose, you can secure your hairstyle with a wide checkered hoop or a headband - a solokha.
