Would you wear paisley, stripes and polkadots?

[Mr. Ed]

Why/why not

 

[Forerunner]

While at the office, I was a conservative dresser, though I had a thing for silk paisley ties.
Now? Stripes, yep. Polka dots? Why not?
Give me a soft, loose fitting pair of Levi's, a nice flannel shirt, and my sandals, and I'm good to go.

 

[Pinky]

Sure .. only vertical stripes though. I love paisley, but rarely see it around.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Not at the same time. I had a muted paisley dress that I loved but gave it away when I became Muslim because it wasn't long enough. I don't like big polka dots but have seen patterns I liked with very tiny dots. Stripes for a woman my size...vertical is recommended. I prefer smaller stripes and have two blouses with small stripes. I would never wear striped pants.

It doesn't matter what your clothes look like as long
as they are clean.

Mike.

 

[Murrmurr]

Not all at the same time, probly.

 

[Forerunner]

All at the same time? Thanks for the idea...I always wanted to be a trend-setter.
I bet people will notice me now! Lol

 

[Tish]

Not at the same time for me as well.
I do love my polka dots dresses, I have 3.

 

[Gaer]

Uh, no.
I like plain stuff.

 

[dobielvr]

Polka dots hurt my eyes...

 

[Murrmurr]

Polka dots hurt my eyes...

Looking at paisley feels like being on mushrooms....I'm guessing.

 

[dobielvr]

Looking at paisley feels like being on mushrooms....I'm guessing.

Hey, you makin fun of me... jk.

But seriously, looking at busy patterns like that hurt my eyes.

[JustBonee]

I wouldn't wear any of those three options, simply because I don't own any.

 

[Lara]

It doesn't matter what your clothes look like as long
as they are clean. Mike.

...and as long as they don't stop traffic

[Forerunner]

Looking at paisley feels like being on mushrooms....I'm guessing.

Your right...I'm not, though it's been over 30 years. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I was drinking. Perhaps that why I stopped.

 

[Bellbird]

Why/why not

I wonder why you asked? Years ago I wore all of them, I looked good too, in my opinion.

 

[win231]

Certainly - as long as they didn't clash with my purse, did something about my calluses, shaved much closer, got rid of my Adam's Apple & learned a different way of walking.

 

[jujube]

Together? Only if I ran away and joined the circus.

Separately? Sure.

 

[Remy]

Uh, no.
I like plain stuff.

I do to. I'm kind of jeans and a t-shirt person. But I remember you stating you don't like jewelry where I do.

I would however, wear these if the clothing item was right. And I found it at a thrift store.

 

[Laurie]

I have three Paisley patterned silk waistcoats (vests), a Balmain hairline pinstripe dark suit and a couple of discreetly polka dotted silk Dior neckties (and some polka dotted boxers, but we won't go there!).

Either you've got style or you ain't!

 

[Aunt Bea]

I’ve never spent much on clothes so I tend to keep things very basic/conservative.

A traditional pattern in a scarf or tie can provide a little pop to a plain outfit. The same with a few pieces of interesting jewelry.

IMO the trick is not to over do it.

Less is definitely more.

 

[Fyrefox]

I’ve had Paisley ties, and Paisley was everywhere in the 1960’s, even in Formica patterns. Then again, I once had a Nehru jacket! Groovy, Baby!

 

[Lewkat]

A friend of mine has a muted gold Paisley blouse and it is gorgeous in its understatement.

 

[Tommy]

Why/why not

No, because blue jeans and denim shirts don't generally come in those patterns.

 

[PamfromTx]

All those prints together? I'd look like a clown!
