Pairing Plaid with a Puffy Vest

January 17, 2016 |

I don't know about you, but I love wearing plaid! It's casual and fun, and it looks great with almost everything. Today I'm sharing a few tips so you can make the most of plaid paired it with a vest.

Vest: Aeropostale (old) | Plaid Shirt: Francesca's | Lipstick: Revlon in “Seduction” | Blush: Too Faced in “Baby Love” | Makeup: Anastasia Beverly Hills | Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills + Anastasia Beverly Hills in “Dark Brown” |  Mascara: Too Faced | Liner: Clinique | Sunscreen: EltaMD

Navy vest + plaid

I curled my hair using an iron with a NUME 25mm wand to get long, loose curls. Here are my tips for getting long, loose curls.

I love the larger sized print on this plaid pattern. I bought the shirt in Francesca's recently and it was a new item, so you should be able to find it for the next month or two if you have Francesca's stores near you (it was only $38). Here are a few of my tips for wearing plaid with a vest:

1. Select a flattering color:You know those colors you receive compliments on whenever you wear them? Wear more of those! I get lots of compliments on blue, pink, green, and yellow, so I wear them a lot. Here's a quick quiz from Seventeen to help you determine your skin tone so you'll know what looks best on you.

2. Wear a (somewhat) fitted shirt:You don't want your shirt to billow out of your vest like a sheet, so make sure you to wear a somewhat fitted style if you're pairing it with a vest.

3. Wear a solid color to break things up:With such a large checked pattern on my shirt, I could've technically worn a vest with a small print (like a navy & white houndstooth), but it definitely works best — and is easiest — to pair a solid with plaid. I pulled the darker navy color from my shirt to wear with this outfit. A solid-colored vest has the added bonus of making your upper body look slimmer and it hides your tummy if you have any issues you want to cover there.

I hope these tips help! If you have any questions, just let me know in the comments.

    I love the colours of the vest and plaid – even though blue is NOT on my list. My puffy vest is white. I have a black and white plaid quilted vest … obviously can`t wear them together. I do have black and white flannel pants, though. My one plaid shirt is pink, blue and white but it is a thin cotton. I`ll be on the lookout for a better fit now that I know how well they go together.

    I have an amazing Joie shirt that I love (and have worn to death). Love the green and blue in the one you’re wearing. Really suits you!
