TAR-TAN the new must have!

‘Check’ what’s becoming big news this season: From Moschino to Chanel, Tartan is the new must have. This timeless pattern is a fabric made of geometric design lines of colors and different proportions, usually associated with Scottish kilts. Dresses, skirts and even jumpers are indisputably the garment of the season that cannot miss in your wardrobe. 

However, one important thing to consider when using this iconic print is that traditionally the colors are dark and high contrast, which means that it will add some volume to the figure making you look a bit fuller so you need to keep in mind your body shape. Classic items such a good pair of trousers, a skirt or an overcoat will last you years, especially if you decide to opt for neutral tones and clean cuts.

Get inspired with these pieces that evoke the days of school uniform and add your personal style with a wide range of options whether you choose to look grungy or preppy. Step up your game by mixing different trends in a subtle way to highlight the impact of your tartan favorite piece for the autumn/winter: leather jackets, oxford shoes, vest shirts, and comfy sweaters could be the perfect match.

This major Scottish invasion is not leaving anyone behind; guys are getting in on the action too. One of the advantages of this trend is the fact that it’s unisex, so menswear lines are hitting the streets with amazing pieces that include tailored jackets, structured blazers, sweaters and skinny-legged pants combined with different textures and colors to show a fresh look. However, if you feel that an entire suit is too much you can try to incorporate small details such as the classic scarf, a bow or even a tartan belt. Be brave, it’s the scottish way!
