The Tartan Trend - Scotland in the fashion world!

Have you noticed how tartan keeps appearing on the catwalks during fashion weeks?   Whether it be a tartan shirt, coat, skirt, trousers or accessory it is a popular trend which keeps going.


It is a fashion trend which has been supported by the celebrities from that little smart dress on the red carpet, to the casual trousers paired with a white blouse or the gorgeous cowl neck playsuit.

                   



There are so many different colours and fabrics around that it is easy to find something to complete your outfit.   From tartan skater skirts to a tartan shirt worn with jeans which you can pair with tartan flats or these fabulous high heel shoes.





With winter fast approaching perhaps a lovely tartan coat like the one below would keep you warm against the cold.




Tartans were originally made from woven wool but today they are available in many other fabrics.   Although tartan is associated with Scotland and the traditional kilt it is favoured by many fashion designers like Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Chanel.  


The Duchess of Cambridge has shown her liking for tartan on a number of occasions so why not follow in her footsteps this winter and get yourself a tartan outfit or accessory.
  
                      


With those winter nights drawing in and with New Year and Burns night fast approaching it is time to include a little tartan in your wardrobe.   Go on you know you want to!
