How to Wear Tartan Pants?

It totally depends on the color and print of your tartan pants, sometimes the boxes are close together in the print which gives it a very different look from tartan pants which have boxes quite far apart. The look also depends on the color of your pants.

With the classic red tartan pants, there will always be another color such as black in the print which can be used to contrast the entire outfit. Red and black tartan pants will look great with a black top, some black boots, and a black jacket for a winter look. Lighter colored pants, perhaps beige look great with a brown, mustard, white, or a beige top. It’s all about contrasting with these pants.

Tips to Style Tartan

  • Smaller tartan print pants look better for formal occasions.
  • Make sure you coordinate the whole outfit around the colors in the pants.
  • Opt for different pants styles according to your preferred taste such as baggy, fitty or jogger style pants.
  • For a casual look, go for a simple, solid colored top with your tartan pants.
  • Mixing other prints with tartans is pretty risky so unless you’re absolutely sure of the look, it’s best to avoid it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How to Style a Yellow Tartan Pant Outfit?

A. Yellow may be a tricky color to style but don’t worry, we have got you covered. Firstly, since the tartan print always requires some other shade in the print the yellow may be mixed with black or white in the print, therefore whatever the other color may be can be coordinated throughout the outfit. If pants are yellow and white, try pairing the pants with a white top, be it a sweater, ribbed top, t-shirt, a button-up the options are endless. Next, wear white heels and add a yellow or a white bag. For more inspiration, you can check out these yellow outfits for women.

Q. Can tartan pants be only worn in the winter?

A. I had the same misconception before I did some digging and research. Tartan or Plaid pants have been in the trend for a while now, the red tartan pants were always associated with the holiday but since new color combinations have emerged, with lighter more summer shades, outfits look great in the summers with these pants as well, or perhaps all year round.
