It happens often. You buy a trendy item and then move it from shelf to shelf because you can't find clothes to match it. A long plaid skirt is not just a trend, but a classic.

But, although this wardrobe item is called universal, it is worth choosing clothes, shoes and accessories for it with some care so as not to spoil the image, turning it into bad taste.

There are several options for a checkered pattern. Each of them is important in the formation of style. Therefore, first of all, decide what kind of pattern on your clothes.

• Large cell. Thin lines intersect on a plain background.
• Checkered drawing. In addition to the classic black and white pattern, there are other options.
• Tartan. The famous plaid skirt.
• Glencheck or goose foot. This is a kind of tartan, but instead of clear diagonal lines, small curls appear. Looks different in small and large version.

The cage is able to visually adjust the figure: a large one suits fragile skinny girls, a small one is ideal for fashionistas with curvaceous shapes.

How to wear a long plaid skirt

This plaid-patterned garment has proven itself in a variety of styles, but is not part of evening wear. It is ideal for the office, walks, meetings with friends, dates, trips to the theater and exhibitions. It goes to both young ladies and women of respectable age.

It is important to choose the right cut and combine the model with other wardrobe items. By itself, it seems bright, so it is not recommended to combine it with contrasting things.

Long trapeze or flared models can be complemented with a jacket. Choose a solid top - a shirt, turtleneck, blouse, in some cases a T-shirt. It is desirable that the color of the top repeats one of the main shades on the skirt.

For example, if the pattern is black and red, then the top is black or red. A blue or white color is suitable for a white-blue cage. Combine plaid with plaid only if the pattern and palette are similar.

In no case do not wear a plaid skirt with a top in a floral motif. She will not make friends with peas, and with stripes and other geometric shapes.

The set will turn out original if you add it with a scarf, bag or checkered shoes. But only with an identical pattern and the same color palette as the main subject of the image.

Checkered skirt for all seasons

Products with a checkered print are sewn from different materials depending on the season. This is reflected in the creation of a beautiful kit.

So, summer and spring models of floor-length skirts are often sewn from silk or chiffon fabrics. They look spectacular with plain blouses made of the same material.

Flared floor-length long skirts are combined with plain T-shirts in a classic cut. High-waisted pieces create a fashionable ensemble in the company of a crop top.

To work in the office, you can throw a three-quarter sleeve jacket over your shoulders. Be careful with colors and don't mix more than three colors.

In autumn and winter, the fashionable pattern is transferred to denser and warmer materials. The product made of woolen fabric will be warm and cozy. When choosing such a model, make sure that the pattern does not look like a plaid.

The best option is a trapezoid or slightly flared cut. In cold weather, it is important to correctly combine it with outerwear and accessories. In autumn, you can wear a short leather jacket or a fashionable leather jacket to it. Get a bold and a little daring option.

Romantic natures will like the combination with a plain short coat or coat. Elegantly complete the look with a wide-brimmed hat and a roomy shapeless bag. Complement the image of a woolen scarf-snood in the color of the cage.

Look feminine with floor-length turtleneck skirts, which are back in fashion. Be sure to emphasize the waistline with a wide belt. Pay attention to important details. Combine warm models of skirts only with dark tight tights.

In all seasons, it is appropriate to complement the image with jewelry. Long pendants or beads look beautiful against the background of turtlenecks. In summer, jewelry in the form of a necklace, long earrings, metal cast bracelets is appropriate.

Long plaid skirt and choice of shoes

A long skirt with a checkered pattern is hard to imagine with flat shoes. The exception is light summer models to the floor. Under them, you can pick up ballet flats or boats. Sandals on a platform or on a heel look romantic.

A business image is emphasized by classic stilettos. Rough boots look brutal with a woolen long skirt. When choosing shoes, it is important that the color is not contrasting. The ideal option is discreet classic colors: flesh, white, black, brown.

In conclusion, if you are only going to buy a model with a checkered pattern, choose a pattern for your build. If you already have a plaid skirt, pair it with solid colors and embellish it. Combine graceful thin blouses with stilettos, knitted sweaters with coarse boots.

A long checkered skirt creates a special mood and sets the tone for the whole look, so you don’t need to choose too contrasting accessories or shoes for it. If you tried on a new look, while looking feminine and feeling confident, then your fashion experiment was a success.
