Okay, so I’ve been seeing these checkered trousers everywhere and thought, why not give them a shot? I picked up a pair of black and white ones, a pretty classic choice, I guess. The first thing I did was try to figure out what to wear them with. I mean, they’re kinda loud, right?
My first move was to keep it simple on top. I grabbed a plain white tee from my closet. It’s like my go-to for anything, super basic. I tucked it into the trousers and threw on some white sneakers. It was alright, pretty casual, you know, something you’d wear to run errands or meet up with friends for coffee. Nothing too fancy, that was a good start for me.
- Day 1: White t-shirt, white sneakers, and the checkered trousers. Easy and quick.
Then I thought, what if I want to dress these up a bit? I remembered seeing someone online pairing them with a blouse. So, I dug out this nice, flowy black blouse I have. I tucked that in, too. It looked way more put-together. To finish it off, I added a chunky silver necklace and some black heels. It felt like a whole different vibe, something I could wear to a dinner or something.
- Day 2: Black blouse, chunky necklace, black heels, and the trousers. Felt pretty stylish, not gonna lie.
I was feeling a bit more adventurous the next day. I have this bright blue top, and I was curious to see how it would look. I paired it with the trousers, and honestly, it wasn’t bad! The blue really popped against the black and white. I wore some neutral-colored sandals with it. It was a fun outfit, perfect for a sunny day out.
- Day 3: Bright blue top, neutral sandals, and the trousers. A bit bold, but I liked it.
Experiment
Then, I experimented with a gray sweater, thinking it might tone down the trousers a bit. I wore it loose over the trousers and added some ankle boots. It was a comfy, cozy look, great for a cooler day. I also tried a beige cardigan another day, just to see. It gave off a softer look, which was nice for a change.
- Day 4: Gray sweater, ankle boots. Comfy and relaxed.
- Day 5: Beige cardigan, still with the ankle boots. Softer, more subtle.
I even tried them with a black turtleneck once. It was a sleek, almost monochromatic look. I added a belt to define my waist and wore some black boots. It felt sophisticated, like something you’d see in a magazine or something. I really love this one.
- Day 6: Black turtleneck, belt, black boots. Super chic and modern.
So, yeah, that’s been my journey with these checkered trousers. They’re way more versatile than I initially thought. I’ve worn them to different occasions, dressed them up, dressed them down, and even tried some color. It’s been fun experimenting with them. I think the key is just to play around and see what works for you. Don’t be afraid to try different things, even if they seem a bit out there at first. You might surprise yourself!
