Touch of Tartan to keep you warm?

Hey everyone,
I've been seeing many people wearing tartan scarves all over the UK. Perhaps the trend has spread across the world?

Here are some outfits I've put together (using polyvore). They're what I've seen people wearing. Similar to those outfits I've been seeing on the street.

Tartan is a very versatile print. With Scottish influence the print is timeless. It's a fabric that has been one for school uniforms. Not just kilts but, now a whole range of other items of clothing.

The most popular today being the Tartan/Plaid scarf.

Hope the outfits above help you style these scarves.

I'd suggest wearing them with block colours or take the colour in the scarf and add pieces the same shade to your outfit. Nearly everyone I have seen with a plaid scarf has a muted tone over sized look.

Scarf and trousers matching

I was watching the Commonwealth games closing ceremony. One outfit stood out to me and that was the look of the famous singer Lulu was wearing.

The whole idea of matching a scarf to trousers/pants print seems classy. It's something I've never thought to do before and it works. However, finding scarf with same print as trousers can be tricky. Lulu also wore this easier to replicate outfit:

If you can't find prints that match then try bold colours instead. The concept of scarf and trousers matching is rather novel and to me screams autumn/fall.

Here are some other people wearing the scarf-trouser match look:
