In the world of textile, there are hundreds of different prints and patterns but it seems that very few could standstill to test the time and are considered as classics. Florals, stripes or polka dots have long been known for the "little black dress" of fashion textile and become go-to staples in any hipsters' wardrobe. And there is still another never-out-of -date style that  should not be disgraced: The Plaid.

The power of plaid is inescapable.Originated from Scotland, plaid fabrics were once ubiquitous among people of various social classes: from aristocracy, military regimes to rebels of Scottish insurgents. Nowadays, the fabric no longer brings its political meanings as it was in the past, in contrast, it has cemented its position in the fashion world.

Plaid fabric is distinctive enough to have its own fabric family. It can be knitted, woven or printed on the fabric. The patterns can run either lengthwise or crosswise which also fall into two categories, either even or uneven plaids and depending of the color bars that make up the plaid design. Whatever patterns that plaid fabric has, the inter-wovening of colorful lines are always an outstanding feature that makes plaid eye-catching, recognizable and unique.
