How to style tartan plaid pants multiple ways

It is time to share with you how to style tartan plaid pants multiple ways!

Maybe you are saying to yourself…plaid pants?

I don’t think I can wear plaid pants especially red tartan plaid pants!

But I am here to tell you yes yes you can! If I can wear them anyone can.

It is all about how to style them.

Red tartan plaid pants

First thing is let’s talk about these red tartan plaid pants.

I bought them from Jcrew factory a year ago. They only have a few left but here are some similar ones from Macy’s. Or these from Dillards.

They are super comfortable because they have some spandex in them. That is huge for me! I gotta have a little give especially in my waist!

The pants feel like I am wearing leggings because they stretch and move with me but they look a little more polished than wearing just leggings.

They are short cropped which I didn’t really love at first but now I am all about it!

Cropped pants look so cute with flats, sneakers and short booties as well as short rain boots.

Cream colored blouse with tartan pants

I just bought this gorgeous pleated and ruffled neck cream colored blouse from Banana Republic outlet.

This blouse is going to be a workhorse in my fall/winter wardrobe. It comes in a few different colors too!

PS. I just bought this same blouse in the navy too!

This has almost a t-shirt like feel to the sleeves and back but the front is silky and looks elegant on. The neckline is so pretty with the pleated ruffles.

It looks amazing with my red tartan plaid pants! The combination of a softer romantic top with the plaid pants creates a really pretty look.

Sweater options to style tartan plaid pants

I have put together a few sweater options to go with my red tartan plaid pants.

The first one is this super soft grey cardigan that I just bought. Wearing it over the silky cream blouse for a preppy look.

I think this would be a perfect outfit through out the winter season.

I have on my shiny black rain booties with this outfit but I could also wear flats like I did in this plaid pant outfit.

The next sweater option is this cream colored sweater with button on the sides from Jcrew factory. I am in love with this sweater! It is so soft and comfy!

I did a little half tuck with the sweater and I am also using my mini crossbody purse. Here is a similar one that is on sale now.

I just love the button details on each side of the sweater.

Black on black sweater combination

Wearing a black t-shirt with my charcoal cardigan sweater has a more causal look.

I paired my plaid pants with my white adidas sneakers.

Perfect to run around town.

Too cool for school right here! hahaha

Cheetah sweater with tartan plaid pants

The next one is a bold fun look!

Fashion is meant to be fun so why not mix a plaid with a cheetah print!

Isn’t this just fun!

I paired the sweater with my new cream colored blouse and it just works!

My rain booties would work or I might just carry on with the cheetah look and wear my cheetah flats with this outfit. My flats are old but here is a very similar pair.

Even More tartan plaid pants outfits

You may remember my other post all about how to style JCrew tartan plaid pants not just for Christmas.

In that post I share 3 more ways to style these pants.

So now that I have shown you multiple ways to style red tartan pants are you going to be brave enough to get some?

I say Yes! Go for it!

I think I might even want another pair of tartan plaid pants in a different color combination because they are so fun!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
