You don't have to be Scottish or know how to do the Highland Fling in order to wear tartan (or plaid as it's known here in the States).  Tartan has been a fashionable statement for many years, and what is great about this design is it comes in many forms and colors!  Tartan can be an accessory or a bold statement piece. Personally I prefer a statement piece, but then you probably knew that didn't you?  Remember the infamous tartan Alexander McQueen dress that Sarah Jessica Parker wore a few years ago at a big fashion event?  She was ripped apart by all the 'fashion critics' for that dress....I loved it!  I loved that it was completely out there, and only someone like SJP could pull something like that off.  So don't be afraid to try this trend, go ahead and take a look at some of the following ways to wear it and give it a try...

 This is SJP with the late designer in the dress that caused a rucus!!!
