Trend Tip: Tartan

Brought to you by Lightbox

If you’ve been following me on twitter and facebook, you have probably guessed that I’m a bit of a fan of Outlander…

By “a bit of a fan”, I mean that I’m an Outlander fangirl through and through! I’ve read all of the books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series multiple times, and have seen all of the episodes of the new Outlander series. It’s available exclusively on Lightbox in New Zealand, and I’m eagerly awaiting episode 7!

If you want to get in to the Outlander mood and rock some tartan, then here are some great new plaid pieces for you…

I love this tee for a preppy look – wear it with some black tailored trousers and a pair of brogues for an easy but smart style.

Y’all know how much I love leggings! I’d wear these with a white tee and a biker jacket for a look that’s a little bit badass.

Tartan tunics have gotten much cooler since my school days! I love this style but it’s a bit too short for me to wear as a dress so I’d pair it with some plain black leggings and ankle boots. How would you style it?

How cute are these flats? Perfect for channelling the punk vibe – wear them as a pop of colour with black skinny jeans or jeggings and a band tee!

These leggings, ankle boots, a longline tee and an oversized cardigan and you have the perfect slouchy outfit for the weekend! I can totally see me wearing this to the markets and to brunch.

I’m more than ready for spring picnics – how about you? I love this cute dress paired with a lightweight cardigan and some sandals.

I know it’s not quite warm enough to go swimming just yet, but there’s nothing wrong with planning in advance! I love this swimsuit with it’s little peekaboo cutout, it’s super cute!

Tartan gets a modern makeover with this bodycon dress – not only is it beautifully form-fitting, it also has crisscross back straps!

The team at Torrid have taken the classic plaid shirt and given it a more feminine shape! Wear it with your favourite pair of jeans and some ankle boots for a casual weekend look.

I love cute lace-up shoes, and these are perfect for a preppy look! Wear them with skinny jeans, a fitted white blouse and a cute cardigan.

How do you wear tartan? Do you have a family tartan?
