Plaid has a rich historical tradition, the best example is the plaid or tartan skirt which is traditional Scottish outfit. Many designers have been inspired by this traditional look. We have seen plaid transform from schoolgirl uniforms to haute couture using this checkered design with different colors and styles and also different materials.
This A-line tartan skirt of tartan goes well with solid color like black or white. Try this shirt with playful ruffles and you can see it works with this skirt. Today you can wear a conservative shirt modified with some edgy style to blend with creating a more modern style. Pull on high knee boots and newspaper hat to make the look even more trendy. Some gold accessories will give you a touch of glamour look.
