PLAYING PLAID
Hey guys, today's blog post is my all time favourite, as we know that patterns play important part in fashion. Like colours we have distinctive patterns which are there to create amazing looks for fashion runways and hit along any given fashion platform. Out of all those beautiful and creative fashion pattern today I am going to talk about one such pattern which we all are very much aware about and heard numerous times. This one such winter favourite is Tartan. It is a pattern consisting of criss- crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours.
Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland. Tartan is often called plaid in United States. Tartan is made with alternating bands of coloured (pre -dyed) threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other.
The tartan as we know it today is not thought to have existed in Scotland before 16th century. By the late 16th century there are numerous references to striped or checkered plaids. It is not until the late 17th or early 18th century that any kind of uniformity in tartan is thought to have occurred. Tartan originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials.
Designers all over the world keep on creating and experimenting with this pattern in different ways like coloured tartans or plaids which was a major trend last year and this year too. This pattern is so effortless that you can wear any piece of garment with checks and you will never fail to nail the look, be it simple buffalo shirt or be it a chic skirt along with shimmering top.
Wool-blend plaid skirt is so classic and a kind of wardrobe must have. Flannel shirt on the other hand is so unisex that signifies effortless fashion. Designers used this pattern in accessories like gloves, shoes and bags.
The best you can do is combine tan accessories with your plaid pieces as they complement each other flawlessly. As a stylist I would like to recommend all fashionistas to at least have one plaid piece in their wardrobe in any form.
Complete your look with these lumberjack checks available in all moody hues theses days. A little rough and tumble never hurt anyone. All the best with the Plaid Playing guys!!
