We all know that tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours and is particularly associated with Scotland because of the Scottish kilts.

But recently, with tartan being turned on its head and no longer limited to Scottish kilts, it can be seen everywhere on everything imaginable, without the bagpipe of course.

Footwear featuring the fabric:




Matching clutch bag…



…and trousers! (okay, this is a little too much now…)



Tartan coats…


Jumpsuits/playsuits (whatever they are called)


and last but not least, even on eye-patches! (made famous by Agyness Deyn)

 

 

How do you feel about the checkered, tartan design? Is it hot or not?
