Bored of plaid shirts and skirts? Welcome plaid pants and give your tartan-inspired wardrobe a much needed reboot.
Plaid shirts, skirts and dresses have all been raved about as they make a comeback into the wardrobe of today’s fashion-savvy. Channeling the 90s style as fueled by the grunge trend, plaid has been modernized and streamlined to appeal to the masses of chic dressers.
Whether you are still mad for plaid or have just had about enough of the sudden influx of the tartan style persuasion, there is no denying of the sheer diversity that the classic motif has inspired in the clothing department. It is one of those unisex patterns that is embraced by both genders and fashion designers are having a ball with it for their Fall/Winter 2014 collections.
One thing that is true, plaid flannels are just everywhere these days that their innovative use as a waist accessory of sort on edgy grungy ensembles have taken on a fashion meme of its own. I’m ready for a different take to the plaid trend and this time, it involves pants.
Tartan pants don’t seem to get much spotlight but if you fancy a fresh and updated way to wearing plaid, then find pants of any silhouette that carry the print and wear it fabulously.
Wonder how to rock plaid pants and make a chic tartan statement with your wardrobe? As always, to the rounded up fashion imagery below for a quick fashion fix:
Plaid on a pair of jogger-style pants are worth investing. Comfortable and also on trend? Give both categories a check!

Slouchy is the celebrated shape of the year. Loose-fitting pants rendered in classic tartan can be dressed up or down depending on what you choose to wear waist up and in the footwear department. The chic outfit iteration by Jane is made possible with a combination of a relaxed button-down blouse and a pair of cutout booties.

A more casual look can be achieved by wearing a tee or a tank with the statement making pants. Amp up the chic factor by topping it up with a leather jacket and fuss-free flat shoes.

What a great selection of tartan pants. I think they look incredibly cool on other people, but I’m not sure whether I’m brave enough to embrace them…yet ;)

Oh I’m sure tartan pants will look swell on you! Maybe a dark subtle plaid will do? I know I won’t be sporting the bold colored ones as they’re too out there for me. Hehe :D Thank you for swinging by dear :) xx
Ooh, plaid is another trend that I enjoy seeing in the autumn time! Like tribal prints, I think plaids are the nicest in the autumn because of the earthy tones that work well with the season. I don’t have any plaid pants, but if I did, I would style them like how Lia did in her outfit! I love how she wore a crop top and booties because that’s exactly how I would wear them! Hehe, and I’ve noticed that you’ve been getting a lot of publicity with your blog! It makes me happy that a lot of people are coming onto your blog now to read your posts because they’re definitely worth reading ((:
