As students of St Andrews University, and part time residents of Fife, many of us do not turn our heads as a flash of Scottish tartan kilt swishes past us, and some of us might not dream of heading out into the bristling cold winds of north east Fife without a cashmere tartan scarf or two wrapped warmly around our necks. So it may be interesting to hear that tartan is not only a favourite of our Caledonian brothers and sisters but is a favourite of the sartorialist elite, and is back on the catwalk! For these Autumn trends Chanel, Alberta Ferretti and Moschino have all drawn inspiration from the Scottish print for their looks. The fabric that was once perceived as the epitome of punk fashion has now be transformed to a classy and alluring injection to your winter wardrobe. So, I suggest we all head down to one of the many St Andrews shops to get a litte tartan to excite your winter looks.
