When you think about Scotland and people who live there what is the first thing that comes into your mind? Perhaps the countryside, bagpipes, blankets and kilts. But what about the type of clothes that is proudly Scottish? We would probably think about Mel Gibson in his movie “Braveheart” in TARTAN - a type of clothing that was worn by the first generations of Scottish inhabitants.
Tartan is associated inseparably with Celtic culture, particularly with the Scottish one. This outline is live in this culture since the 3rd century. However a lot of scientists say that it is even elder - checkered fabric was invented million years ago. In North America it is identified as checkered ornament, however in Scotland it is more often name for type of cloth, a coverlet or one of the wool blankets in a pattern of tartan.
Also this pattern has a great usage in the world of fashion and celebrity on the highest level. Famous people like to be seen in tartan clothes. Not only in the classic colours but also even in pink. Celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham wear something more modern of the elderly mini- a knee-length checkered pencil miniskirt. And they looked great!
A lot of people would like to look like Mel Gibson in checkered kilt. Of course, the fact is that if we talk about fashion it is a substance of experience. And a lot of people don’t like checkered clothes and in several cases they just learned that this is strict Celtic wear.
If you are interested in tartan wear you might find a great tartan blanket for yourself!
