In the Victorian and Edwardian era, tartan-clad garments featured in fashion catalogues. By then, tartan had shifted from being mainly a component of men's clothing to become an important part of women's fashion. In consequence of its association with the British aristocrazy and military, tartan developed an air of dignity and exclusivity. Because of this, tartan has made reappearances in the world of fashion several times. For instance, tartan made a resurgence in its use in punk fashion. In the late 1970s, punk music was a way for English youths to voice their discontent with the ruling class. The unorthodox use of tartan, which had long been associated with authority and gentility, was then seen as the expression of discontent against moderm society. In this way tartan became an anti-establishment symbol. Men love it, women love it, punks, hipsters and suburban dads love it. Tartan has never gone out of fashion, but today it's selling like never before.
This print is precisely what I am wearing today with this long coat in navy and green. A great piece, not just because of the beautiful cut and design, but also of its warm fabric and the fake fur hood. Extra coziness guaranteed! Perfect for this time of the year. There are endless possibilities to wear this coat. I´ve chosen to smarten it up by wearing a white shirt with a denim tie. The grey cardigan with the big buttons adds a new colour to the outfit, followed by the navy trousers and the ivory brogues. To finish I am wearing the matching navy gloves and the leather maxi bag to store everything that we need during a long working day.
