Plaid trousers, plain awesome

I bought Gerben a pair of plaid trousers, brown, stylish and trendy, and then I wanted a pair too! Or actually I was looking for a simple black blouse, because it turned out I didn’t have any blouse except this one. And although I’m not a fan of a blouse, I do think it looks nice under a v-neck jumper with a tie, or very elegant on a denim skirt with black boots. Anyway, I was looking for a blouse and went online at h&m to browse.

Not because I’m such a fan of the brand, but because I have bought fitted blouses there in the past. I think fitted is out of fashion because everything is oversized. And I’m not a fan of that either. But you have to buy something right……just say yes. So I saw a blouse made of recycled polyester, as if that would be less bad……and it was not as bulky as a cotton one. And I immediately ordered it a size smaller.

Oeps, plaid trousers

But then I accidentally saw these plaid trousers, and they were discounted too! I have also had similar trousers from h&m before, and these were also in my shopping cart before I knew it. There goes my, I never buy anything new in the months of January and February… But these are basics, right? Then it doesn’t count. In any case, the blouse and like I said, the trousers were suddenly in the basket.

I think plaid trousers look great on a man. But not on every man. I only like it on cooler guys and not on those men who spend every day at the golf club. In the Netherlands they are a certain type of people. Nothing wrong with them, just not my kind of style.

And Gerben usually wears what I like. He has no opinion of his own….haha, he better not read this! Sometimes he has to get used to something, like the plaid trousers, but in the meantime he almost has more shoes than me and his wardrobe is also becoming too small! I like that a man is also interested in what he wears.

How I like to wear them

As I said, I like to wear such plaid trousers with a blouse and a sweater. And preferably with a tie. Some simple golden accesories and my favorite suède ankle boots. But I think I also really like it with sneakers and a nice white T-shirt. When it gets warmer. I’ll have to look for that too, a good quality white t-shirt, any suggestions? And new sneakers I need too, in green and pink and white…..oh gosh. Plenty to wish for again, of course.
