Fashion and Function: Wearing Graphic Tees With Your Pants

Fashion and comfort rolled into one? For many years, the two have been perfect companions. The combination of cool color and perfect material has made plaid pants an enduring wardrobe staple. And when you want to effortlessly update your look with simple footwear, pair off with classic black leather loafers.

This updated take on the classic beaded-plaid pant is a great way to add an interesting layer of casual glamour to your entire wardrobe. Choose a plain white button-down shirt in a neutral, but warm color, such as tan, beige, or white. Slip on your plaid pants, a white-accented pair of heels, and your plain white button-down shirt. You’re ready for any occasion!

Another fun way to update your old-school plaid pants and add some modern flair is pairing them with a graphic tee. This exciting new addition to the men’s wardrobe makes a great fall or winter accessory that works well with just about any other clothing in your closet. The great thing about pairing a graphic tee with your basic black and brown plaid pants, is that it allows you to experiment with a wide variety of colors and prints, without sacrificing your main color scheme.
