My sister passed on to me her vintage 1980’s black watch plaid blazer back when I was working an office job. It’s still useful and always will be. A plaid blazer is an autumn/winter staple that can go from work to weekend. Age doesn’t matter. I have 33 ideas here for how to wear it. These ideas go beyond the matching suit. So if you have a plaid suit, you might want to break out that blazer and see what else it can do!
Since the plaid blazer is a print, I start out with print mixing ideas. Then I have a few ideas for wearing it with dresses and skirts. And finally, I came up with 20 ways to wear it with different colors of jeans and other types of pants. I hope you will make use of some of these outfit ideas. I’d love to hear from you if you will leave a reply below!
In my last post, I presented a style tip about how to stay warm in the winter with modern styling and without the bulk. (If you like, you can explore my Style Tips category here.) However, it’s not just cold now but REALLY cold! So I decided to update my outfit combination post on how to dress the warmest on the coldest days in winter. I am aware that none of us want to lose our(TRUE)selves under bulky layers, so that concern is taken under consideration in these outfit ideas.
When the bitter winter cold hits, try some of the following tips to dress as cozy and warm as possible without looking too bulky. These hacks will keep anyone comfy. Age doesn’t matter. So read on and feel free to try any of these ideas that appeal to you.
Faux leather pants are warm, sexy and edgy. Even if that’s not your style, they balance out when worn with their opposites: soft, feminine, girly, ladylike, even businesslike. And they don’t have to be black; there are many other colors available now. And they don’t have to be skin-tight. The latest styles of leather pants are loose with drawstrings, gathered like joggers, shaped like culottes or with wide legs. Because of all of these style options, age doesn’t matter. Besides, if you’re older and facing imperfections on your legs, it totally covers any problem you might have!
Faux leather pants go well with feminine blouses, corset tops, lace and chiffon. When the cold weather subsides, you can even wear them with tank tops and crop tops if that’s your thing! To be extra warm all over, add a sweater such as a cable pullover or a cardigan.
Boots are the go-to footwear for leather pants. For day, you can wear slip-on sneakers. For evening, heels play up the sexy vibe.
Following are outfit ideas using black faux-leather pants and more outfit combinations after that using any color faux-leather pants. These outfit suggestions range from the transition of Fall-to-Winter to the transition to Spring (for instance, if you have colored leather or cut-out booties or strappy suede sandals).
