Tartan and Checks:Autumn 08
Sep 16, 2008 Uncategorized
Tartan is back and it’s everywhere! A trend offered up by Dolce and Gabbana, who produced show-stopping tartan and pussy bows inspired by The Queen! We’ve seen it on many a celebrity in all sorts of shapes and forms, from prom dresses and trousers to cute little bows on shoes and bags. To avoid check overkill I’ll be wearing mine in the form of a shirt and there’s plenty to choose from……
I am a huge fan of this voluminous pussy bow shirt from Miss Selfridge, tying three trends into one with its neck tie, plaid print and billowing sleeves. It looks like a great homage to Dolce & Gabbana, but a snip of the price at £28.
For more casual, street chic, why not try this western style check shirt, from Republic in cream. It would look great left un-buttoned with a vintage print shirt underneath for a boyish feel as seen on Agyness Deyn and Fearne Cotton. Team with dark denim leather for a modern edge or inject some ‘country’ by adding a neck tie!
