Checkered pants are an item that, for better or worse, adds an accent to your outfit, so it is important to wear them with a relaxed, smart, and mature atmosphere. Therefore, it is important to ” limit the number of colors ” and ” choose a plaid pattern with a moderate assertion ” in order to create an adult, relaxed atmosphere and a smart impression. When it comes to check patterns that satisfy these conditions, the monotone hound’s tooth (staggered plaid) and glen checks introduced above, as well as two-color buffalo checks and ombre checks, are strong choices.

Of course, it is possible to combine patterns, but it is difficult to achieve a smart look, and if done poorly, there is a risk of creating a cluttered and conspicuous impression. It is also a good idea to choose solid color items in colors that are picked up from the color scheme of plaid pants. It is easy to achieve a unified look with a contrast between the solid and patterned items.
