Plaid and Simple

Every season there is a trend that seems to hop from one designer to another. Whether this is intentional or deliberate who knows, but at least said "trend" comes in different forms allowing the public to choose for themselves.

This season it seems to be Plaid and Tartan prints. The latter of which has been spotted on Design genius Marc Jacobs in the form of, no not a dress, but a kilt!



Now, I'm not suggesting you wear a kilt, after all we're not all in New York City, but the print itself is a key piece for men in 08. In Cape Town we're slightly behind when it comes to trends, so we can expect the masses to follow suit by NEXT year, although to be fair I have seen some youngin's wearing Lumberjack prints with skinny denims. You can buy them for R200 at Jay Jays!

Here are a few versions of the above mentioned look from this and last season:












Note that Paul Smith mixes his use of the print with various other colours to get that old-worldly feel! Layering people- layering!
