Pink Tartan Kilt

Tartan is dead! Long stay tartan! Therefore it constantly matches this universally recognised structure, the interest in which might well have waxed and waned throughout history, yet still will not die.

From 17th-century Scottish lairds and their kilted clans towards London punk scene associated with the 70s, tartan – or plaid, so it can have its US moniker – is actually aristocratic and democratic with its charm.

This following autumn isn't any exclusion, as it comes back to both fashion designer and high-street selections. At Alexander McQueen, designer Sarah Burton presented a striking bubblegum-pink tartan trouser match, complete with kilt. However, if you’re feeling only a little less courageous of heart, then River Island’s three-piece plaid match in black colored and dark green is perhaps the tailoring for you.

Naturally, using plaid from head-to-toe truly is not easy and simple or only way to wear this exuberant check. Accessorising with a tie or a scarf is a comparatively painless alternative that does not require much forethought. It’s in addition a subtle way of doing a bit of autumnal neck wrap.

Alternatively, choose that old faithful, the plaid shirt, keeping colours subdued and tonal and materials lightweight for an urbane look. Those thick lumberjack-style tops, so widespread over the past few years, should really be used only if your selected occupation needs an in-depth knowledge of how exactly to move an axe at a tree.
