Time For Tartan: And I’m Not Talking About Kilts

Time For Tartan on vickiarcher.com

What do you think about tartan?

I like it but like the leopard print, I don’t wear it all at once. As much as I am a fan of all things Scottish, a little bit of plaid can go a very long way. Unless you ‘re talking about Jamie Fraser in Outlander and he can wear as much Clan print as he likes ;)


Tartan pants are another matter.

I wear these every winter and look for new plaids to add to my wardrobe. As a weekend wardrobe idea, they are an easy one. Bring out the sweaters, the turtlenecks, the man’s size shirt and the blazers or coats; it’s all good. They pair so well with winter white or black – add a long white faux or sleek up with your leather jacket and longline shirt, if it’s not too chilly.



I like tartan pants that aren’t too wide or too long – I’m not tall enough or slim enough to wear very long ones, but I do love a cropped tartan trouser with a flat or a bootie.


Tartan pants and an episode of Outlander; now that’s a great weekend ahead. xv
