The Tartan Edit

Ten tartan looks: a noir plaid mini with faux-fur cuffs, a turquoise corset over a draped tartan skirt, a gold tartan gown, a navy tartan maxi and plaid layered with lace, leather and denim.

The Tartan Edit is plaid drawn as coloring pages — not schoolgirl kilts, but tartan styled like a runway. A black jacket with fur cuffs over a red plaid mini; a pastel check blazer and handkerchief skirt; a teal tartan suit with a long skirt and a baker boy cap; an olive tartan mini dress with opera gloves; a gold-and-black tartan gown split over white ruffles.

Tartan is a pattern of crossing stripes, so on a coloring page the trick is choosing the base color and two line colors. Red with black and green, navy with green and yellow, gold with black, turquoise with violet — each set reads as a different clan.

Tartan vs plaid

Every tartan is a plaid, but tartan is the specific woven check with stripes of set widths repeating in both directions. In the app, pick a base color for the skirt, then let the tartan pattern carry the lines; keep the top and boots solid so the check stays the star.
