Often mistaken for Plaid, the tartan design originally from the Scot land has hit the fashion waves again; it’s more versatile, simple to pull off and can be got in different colors and styles. Tartan/plaid patterns come in different adaptations by different designers. From rock punk look to the always classy, elegant and sexy look.

For most of us, if not all, it’s a reminder of the school days in those two piece uniforms. But this time, its full of fun and came back with a good vengeance this season just like Britney Spears rocking those mini Tartan skirts “Hit me Baby One More Time” Tartan/Plaid has surely hit us again.

Here are some Tartan outfits that will best suit the chic suburban girl who loves to look fashionable and simple while hustling in that hot sun.

Short Midi Tartan Skirt; if you wore a school uniform growing up you will love this. Its preppy, slimy and fun bringing back those fun school times. Match it up with a long sleeved crop top making you feel rebellious as you make it look chic and simple with those gorgeous pumps.

Tartan Shorts; These lazy Oaf Black Heart Tartan Shorts a must have in every wardrobe this season. They are comfortable and can be put together with any kind of top. I decided to go for a white vest and pigalle white boat shoe giving the shorts more light and the eye clearly concentrates on the shorts. The Eyeglass frame sunglasses punk up the look.
