Here’s Vogue on the trend: “With a rich history that goes back beyond Scottish Highlander kilts, plaid is a heritage pattern that still feels very now. Fashion month attendees have worn statement pieces like coats in brisk plaids, or worn plaid separates together, letting the different iterations gleefully clash.” As the trend suggests, there’s nothing square about check with its wild Celtic roots and untameable undertones, tartan has always been a bit subversive. From punk rock to Dior’ chunky black boots combo, you can expect a bit of attitude with this clannish pattern whatever your budget.
