Trending - Tartan

The Union Jack may have stolen the spotlight for S/S 2012, but heads up patriotics everywhere - because this season it's all about tartan!

Tartan may originally have been an emblem of Scottish pride (together with bagpipe music and a side of Braveheart). But this season tartan takes centre stage thanks to Phillip Lim and Dries Van Noten who showed tartan in their S/S 2013 shows at fashion week.

Tartan works for any style - whether you be more classic prim or punky rock, there is a tartan look that will work for you.

The 'rules' - make the tartan your focus and team with neutral colours. Add leather like Jessica Alba to nail the rocker vibe or opt for tailored tartan like Kate Middleton to keep it classic.

However you wear it, it is time to bow to the tartan fashion army!

What's in MyFashionCupboard:

I picked up this amazing tartan peplum jacket from ASOS - I will be dressing it up with pencil skirts and dressing it down with jeans and boots this Spring.

These look great with my leather jacket for a
rocky look and with a blouse and courts for
a ladylike twist.

I couldn't resist this skirt! I am wearing it with tights now and will dare to bare my legs come warmer climes!

 Wear your tartan with a generous dollop of Scottish pride!

Bisous!
