I wear them with simple black turtlenecks (or warmer sweaters), black tights (or hose) and knee high black boots.

That said, I agree with you Angie. Even though I was only 5 years old at the end of the 80s, the tartan shirts do not appeal to me. I prefer tartan in a sophisticated look or even a funky look, but not the country style that these shirts bring to mind. They look like some flannel shirts I wore in high school, which are now reserved for riding horses in the fall and winter. I could see a tartan shirt looking good, but only if it was paired very carefully. Currently I own 5 tartan skirts ranging from mini to mid-calf. Someday I would love to have a shawl in my family tartan (which is extremely difficult to find), but those are too expensive for my poor-college-student budget. Sal, I love your new skirt! Antje, I love the idea of a tartan waistcoat. Yum! Shiny, I’m jealous that you have a husband who is brave enough to wear a kilt. :) I love tartan. That said, I agree with you Angie.

Thank you for all the valuable information you share. Are we blessed or what?! I was lucky enough to be in Edinburgh, Scotland this past summer. I bought a light grey/stone and black plaid cape. I was not sure about it at the time but the color is great for me as I am fair skinned and blonde. I bought it at a factory outlet that is on Burlington Street if anyone is interested/going to Edinburgh. Lots of tourist stuff there alsonot just clothes, local products too;shortbread,jewlery.. and all less $$ than you would pay in the center of Edinburgh. Kellee Hi Angie,

I wish it was a pencil skirt though - it's more of a calf-length A-line. Does Tartan work in all seasons? I always think of it as a late fall/Christmas time look...

I don't think I'll be buying anything tartan this season though. I am steering away from trendy pieces for monetary reasons. But, if I were to splurge, it would most likely be an accessory or shoes. (Loved the shoes in the blog entry). How about scarves?? Is tartan (or any plaid) stylish for a scarf? I have a cashmere brown plaid scarf that I put out of service because I thought it was dated.

I have found one, but I am waiting for it to go on sale as it is expensive. I love the colour mix of bright red tartans, but I have vivid memories of the eighties and feel I am too old to wear a bright red tartan shirt again.
