Add Checks To Your Fashion Check List! How To Revive This Forgotten Trend

Either we all wore checks growing up or we knew someone who did. They were either in our school uniforms or in those corny looking clothes our uncles and aunties used to buy for the summer holidays. Little did we know back then that we were wearing a piece of timeless fashion. Don't believe us? Read on.

The checked pattern is also called tartan or plaid and it originated in Scotland in the 1500s with their amazing kilts. Scots are famous for this geometric pattern made from pre-dyed yarn. The weaving combination results in lovely squares called setts and this elegant pattern has been worn by Scottish folk from centuries.

If you're ready to rock this cute yet classy fabric this season, here are some great ideas for you to try.
