Cats Lashes: The Tartan Effect

Tartan is big for autumn/winter 2013! It can be a scary pattern to work into your wardrobe (no one wants to look like an extra from Braveheart :P) but there are a number of options to choose from :)

1.Scarf
I think the easiest way to wear the pattern is to get a tartan scarf. They look great plus they help keep you nice and warm :) Who says fashion can't be functional!!

2. Bag

Using a handbag is a fun way to work in the tartan pattern. If you are not used to wearing patterns getting a nice bag is probably the best way to get a taste of the trend.

3. Shoes

Another not so scary way to work in the trend is with your shoes. It works with both heels and flats.

4. Shirt/Jacket

Tartan shirts look great paired with a nice logo t-shirt or some statement jewellery for a dressed down look.

5. Skirt

There are two options with the skirt. You can go for a cute/preppy look n go for a skater or pleated style or you can choose the more sophisticated look and opt for a pencil skirt.

6. Trousers

The best way to wear a tartan trousers is to team it with a plain colour on top. Black or white work the best :)

7. Tights

If your a fan of pattern tights why not give tartan tights a go :)

8. Suit/Dress

If your brave enough to wear it top to toe a tartan suit or dress might be the one for you. Go full Vivienne Westwood on it :P

9. Mixing Patterns

This is another one for the brave. If your confident in what your wearing you will definitely be able to pull this one off :) One that I keep seeing is tartan and leopard print together.
