Is that plaid?

We start heading into &#8216;tartan&#8217; territory by looking at the geometry on the pattern.\u00a0 \u2026With most every tartan, the pattern on the stripes running vertically is exactly duplicated on the horizontal axis too. [In a true tartan pattern] you&#8217;ll notice no matter the gauge of the pattern, the stripes meet to form a perfect grid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But no matter what you use in form, fashion or function, you can expect to see a lot of plaids (and tartans!) this fall for sure. Do you have a favourite plaid\u2026.or tartan?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s no secret that plaid is the hottest fashion trend this season.
