Plaid skirt
Peculiarities
A distinctive feature of a plaid skirt, perhaps, is its "capriciousness".
This is explained by the fact that not all types of clothing can be combined with it. Despite this, plaid skirts have firmly established their niche, both in everyday life and in the business sphere. The main requirement when choosing this accessory is to carefully consider the choice of an accompanying wardrobe so as not to radically spoil the desired image.
What is the name of
At the first reminder of a plaid skirt, perhaps, every person will come to mind with a tartan skirt, or a kilt. It is to him that modern women owe the appearance of a plaid skirt in their wardrobe. The pattern itself, despite its unpretentiousness, also has many varieties:
- tartan, perhaps the most common type of cage, which was used back in 325 in Scotland, which still does not go out of fashion among millions of fashionistas.
- Shepherd's Check or checkers. The name itself explains the similarity of the pattern in the form of a chessboard. In addition to the traditional black and white cells, other variations are used.
- large cage. Drawings in the form of a large cell represent an unpretentious monophonic background and thin lines passing through it.
- Argyle. In principle, this is the same tartan, the only difference is that the shape of the pattern is made not in a square, but in a diamond-shaped style. By the way, Argyle appeared in the same Scotland.
Who will suit
A plaid skirt does not have a sufficiently precise definition of who is better off wearing it. In principle, it will perfectly complement the wardrobe of any woman and girl of various sizes. There is only the importance of choosing an accompanying wardrobe.
For example, for slender and young ladies, it is better to give preference to straight skirts, with a low or high waist.
For owners of the “triangle” subtype, on the contrary, a flared model of plaid skirts will be an excellent choice. If you want to emphasize your waist, it is recommended to use either lacing or a wide belt.
Checkered skirts with drapery can make the figure more harmonious and add the necessary volume in the hips. This option is preferable to the subtype of the "inverted" triangle.
Styles and models
As for styles, the plaid pattern will look perfect on any of them. Any model in a cage will become a worthy wardrobe accessory, for example, such as a straight skirt. This model has already merged with the daily life of the female, it has also become familiar at various celebrations and events. It is best combined in an ensemble with a plain blouse or top.
It is worth noting the unique combination of such a variation as a skirt with a jacket, where the skirt is exclusively in a large cage, and the jacket, on the contrary, is in a small one.
Today you can often see young schoolgirls in such styles.Which looks pretty cute, especially when paired with a pleated skirt.
Slim plaid skirt
A narrow skirt is different in that any image to which it is applied becomes more calm and balanced. Special harmony is achieved in combination with soft turtlenecks. Anyone who tries on such a skirt will transform into both a conservative and visually calm person.
Pencil skirt
The well-known pencil skirt is known for its originality and elegance. And when this skirt combines these 2 styles, the uniqueness of the image also doubles. A plaid skirt, pencil style is perhaps the best option for gray weekday office days. She is able not only to smooth them out, but also to become the most important accessory for every business woman. For a pencil skirt, a combination of a plain blouse of a strict type is best suited. As for the “troika” option, then it’s worth stopping the choice on a plain trench coat or a long jacket.
Actual colors
The most relevant color of a plaid skirt has been considered red in a black cage for several years now. This combination looks flirty in its own way, especially among the younger generation.
A gray plaid skirt is not inferior, its light metallic style creates its own strict individual charm, and a range of gray-green tones, on the contrary, is able to reveal the femininity of its owner's nature.
Black and white skirt
The combination of black and white checks, despite its popularity, may not always be a good choice, it rather needs its own approach, although this is a classic. Black and white tones will be perfectly combined with a more relaxed top. In this case, it is advisable to wear shoes with high heels on your feet.
Red
A red plaid skirt is perhaps the best option that exists. Along with black and white, it is also an image of classicism.
Blue
By itself, blue is not as fashionable as, for example, red. However, in combination with other colors, it even looks very personal. For example, a blue plaid with yellow stripes is perfect for autumn.
Green
Checkered skirts with green elements are most often combined with light gray tones. With such a skirt, the top must be chosen in a darker range. In this case, the appearance of femininity and irresistibility will be provided.
Gray
The peculiarity of gray shades in a plaid skirt resembles something cozy and comfortable. A more relevant gray skirt will look short or midi. It goes well with a black top, especially with a jacket. If you want to dilute such an outfit, you can brighten it up with a bright scarf.
Length
The division into length is no different from other skirt options. There are also long "to the floor", and mini skirts and midi.
Mini
The plaid mini skirt is simply amazing and stylish. This is an ideal option for brave and self-confident girls. Such a skirt looks best in a pleat, it will look no less attractive in a plain top.
midi skirt
Midi skirts, or simply mid-length skirts, come in a variety of styles, each with its own uniqueness. This option includes a pencil skirt and a flared type. These skirts are a hit at both holiday parties and college.
Long
This version of maxi skirts has the largest combination options. It is perfect for both the summer period and the insulated version for the winter.
materials
The advantage of materials in tailoring pleated skirts is given to soft fabrics, thanks to which the original shape is preserved. A straight skirt in a cage, on the contrary, should have a dense fabric so that the pattern does not spread. The choice of material will rather depend on the style and model of the plaid skirt.
What to wear
Ensemble options are difficult to describe in a nutshell. Again, it depends on the style, material, model and even the season. The most common classicism is a snow-white shirt or blouse.
With bright shades of a skirt, on the contrary, calm tones of a turtleneck or T-shirt will look more acceptable.
Shirt to skirt
Shirts have become a frequent addition to skirts, for example, a snow-white shirt in an image with a midi skirt has become an almost win-win option for women's wardrobe. Any girl in a dark checkered skirt and a long tucked-in white shirt will also look elegant.
For an office option, a combination of the simplest shirt and a pencil skirt can be an excellent option.
beautiful bows
Looks, or looks especially paired with plaid skirts, make up a big list. Classical images are recognized as especially compatible. A short coat, like a short fur coat, is perfect for a pleated skirt in the cold season. A maxi skirt will be the perfect complement to an ensemble of a knitted sweater and jacket. By the way, shoes with low heels will be a great option for your feet.
