Skirt in a Scottish cage
The traditional name of the Scottish skirt - kilt - is now familiar to all women of fashion. Skirts from tartan can be different models: narrow and curvy mini, corrugated midi, loose skirts on the floor - any style looks good in checkered colors.
The peak of the popularity of tartan traditionally falls on the cold season, because the interlacing of bright strips of the Scottish cage looks very cozy and stylish. In addition, originally a checkered print adorned with dense woolen cloths, which perfectly protect against the cold.
The history of the Scottish skirt takes its roots very far, and originally the checkered skirt in Scotland was called the "small kilt". It was part of the "great kilt" - the traditional national costume of Scottish men.
The name "tartan" was widely distributed among tailors only in the 18th century. Scientists have not yet come to a common opinion about the origin of this name. There are two main versions: the origin of the French "tiretaine", denoting a rough woolen fabric, and from the Celtic "tarsainn", literally translated "crosswise."

With what to wear a Scottish skirt?
The Scottish woman's skirt is always associated with the school uniform, and therefore fits perfectly into the student-school style ( preppy ). It is the short skirt (from the knee and above) of the "school" style that is the most popular model in the world for a skirt-tartan skirt. Especially love it in Japan, where the "school" style is simply adored.
However, thanks to the richest palette of colors and shades, of which the print can consist, you can pick up a skirt for almost any occasion. For example, strict business images will emphasize black, coniferous-green or brown skirt tones. To walk around the city you can choose red, yellow or blue-blue tartan. For solemn events, red, white and beige tones perfectly suit.
Fans of grunge will come in handy red-black tartan. It is best to choose straight skirts, combining them with jackets, coarse shoes, stretched jumper and torn pantyhose.
The saturated colors of tartan make the skirt a bright color accent, therefore, in order not to overload the image, stylists recommend combining Scottish skirts with a monophonic top, and also not get carried away with accessories. The classic way of using a plaid is: a white blouse shirt (can be decorated with a tie, a neck scarf or brooch), a checkered skirt, shoes or low-heeled shoes, a rectangular leather bag. Checkered skirts also fit well with monophonic swimsuits and V-neck sweaters.
The best addition to the skirt in the cage will be solid tights or stockings. The variant of bright checkered tights is also acceptable, but in this case it should exactly repeat the pattern and color of the skirt. In any case, such an image is very risky and suitable only for a few.
Shoes for skirts-Scotch should be selected wisely. Best fit male models - on a flat sole slightly rough shape, as well as accurate "school" shoes on a low wide heel. From the idea to supplement tartan shoes with stilettos is better to give up - too great a risk to look vulgar and vulgar.
