Tartan has been slowly creeping in and out of the fashion limelight over the past few years … finally not just seen on the Scottish highlands… tartan is officially sexy and wearable with thanks to designers like Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Marni – pictured above in that order.
Do not stress though… you don’t have to part with the big bucks to get on this fashion bandwagon … highstreet do it to! However, it is what we like to call a mini trend… you won’t find it in every shop… but I’ve sourced some of the best options around.
For those of you a little wary of the trend, why not try these cool statement tights from Warehouse for only €13. They will quickly jazz up a boring outfit, come in green and red and are still totally on trend since statement tights were massive this year!
Or for those of you office ladies who like to look a little bit more daring than your average boring black suit, but still need to be appropriate, try this gorgeous wool tartan fitted dress. It’s not too tight, and is a perfect length… team with black tights and heels for work, or maybe knee-high boots for a funkier day look.
Warehouse also have these cute tartan style skirts… think ‘Gossip Girl’, and team the skirts with bright jackets, chunky knits and lots of layering.
For those of you who just want a dash of tartan try this uber cool bag from Topshop only €35, with an almost Chanel inspired shape and chain, it will be perfect for those nights out on the town this Christmas.
So tart it up this Christmas and put some cheeky checks into your wardrobe!
