Plaid is back in style just in time to complement the crisp air of autumn. Though tartan was originally a Scottish pattern made of woven wool, it is now widely emblazoned on all kinds of materials! The best part? A cheery plaid pattern is equally fun for both fall (think that classic school uniform look) and winter (hello, holiday!).
