Tartan fabric: the Scottish trend of the moment

It could not have escaped you: the catwalks are invaded by tiles. From Dior to Burberry, via Versace, a scottish wind is blowing in fashion sails this season.

We focus on the trend of tartan and plaid patternsand we tell you how to adopt it to be on top.

Tartan fabric vs tiles: what are the differences?

The subtlety that differentiates tiles from tartan is very simple, it’s the same story as for fridges: all tartan fabrics are checks but not all checks are tartan.

Tartan is a plaid fabric with horizontal and vertical lines that form a “set”, often with several colors and a geometric pattern. Tartan is typically Scottishand it is the one found in principle on a kilt.

Now that you’ve got your vocabulary down, let’s take a look at the trend of winter plaid and tartan patterns.

Checks and tartan: pieces to adopt urgently

Tartan fabric coat

If you had to choose just one plaid piece, it’s clearly the coat. In tone on tone or more colorful, depending on your desires.

The kilt-style skirt

Mini or midi version, the kilted skirt is still there this winter. In classic red and green tartan version or in a modernized version, as desired. You can also wear the midi length plaid pleated skirtso as not to pour too much into the kilt version.

The set: total check or tartan look

You can play it total check or tartan look, provided you wear sober things otherwise. The checked trouser suit is the uniform of working girls fashion this winter.

The tartan scarf

Add a small touch of checks or tartan to your simple outfits with a beautiful scarf. Choose an XXL model to be at the forefront of the trend.

Checks and tartan fabric: for which looks?

office look

In uniform, or in a softer version, plaid and tartan are very elegant patterns. A plaid pencil skirt over a slightly loose white blouse will look great.

Chic-casual look

One of the advantages of the tartan pattern is its androgynous character. Just what you need to pimp up a chic-casual look! Opt for 7/8 straight pants^th tartan patternan oversized sweater and a pair of sneakers, you’ll be on top.

For the more daring: Mix & Match

If you want to get started on a look with great Instagram potential, bet on Mix & Match. We particularly daree tartan + leopard combo for an offbeat and ultra-trendy look.

Be careful all the same, we are talking about two strong reasons, we do not do anything with them, it is a risky association.
