Marching orders – join the tartan army

 WITH tartan now being one of the hottest trends of the season, there is no excuse not to be patriotic.

Over the past few years, tartan has shed its traditional style and has become associated with fashion with a rock and roll edge. Catapulting onto the catwalks of Moschino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Preen, the trend was seen everywhere in this season’s shows, and luckily for us, it is heritage and weather appropriate. If you feel like cashing in on the latest trend, then here’s how to incorporate a cheeky bit of tartan into your wardrobe.Take some inspiration from these tartan army looks.
