Tartan is one of the biggest trends this season. You may not know, but there is a difference between tartan and plaid. What is it? I didn't really know, so I did some research. And... I'm still not quite sure... But I THINK that the essential thing that tartan is just one kind of plaid - plaid can be any checked pattern, but tartan is the traditional scottish kind. And also - plaid is some specific kind of clothing while tartan is the actual pattern. I might be wrong though. For a more detailed explanation check out this.
Anyway, I'm not writing this to give you the definition of tartan but ideas and tips on how to style it. Let's get into it:
If you are not so confident with tartan yet try wearing just one patterned piece, keeping the rest of the outfit simple. Pairing a dark colored mini skirt with a plain grey tee and some converse makes a perfect outfit for lunch with friends or shopping. Don't forget the money though ;). Exchange the converse for some black, heeled booties or simple black heels to make this outfit dinner-appropriate.
This is a more elegant take on the trend. There is a lot going on with this pixeled tartan dress so I'd keep the rest to the minimum, Some black strappy heels, simple rings and clucth make this ensemble perfect for a dinner, date or reception.
You can also rock the tartan trend at school or even at home with this comfortable, casual outfit.
Leave your boring black or grey suit in your closet, it's time for tartan! I admit, tartan or tartan is the next level and not everyone can pull it off, but it's worth a try. This silhouette is a blogger favourite and perfect for work.

That would be everything for today, I hoped you liked the outfits! I didn't want to go with a plaided button-up, which also is a great look but not very original. What do you think of this trend? Would you wear a patterned suit like this or do you keep it simple?
