As summer comes to an end (sob), it’s time to swap your trusty white dresses and sandals for something a little bit more transitional. Enter the autumn/winter trend revival we've been waiting for: tartan.

While the traditional checked pattern always enjoys a resurgence as soon as the temperatures drop, it’s really taking centre stage for the autumn/winter 2024 season.

The runways were awash with heritage tweeds and checked prints that channelled British countryside chic this season.

From Chloé’s elegant wool overcoats to Burberry’s maxi skirts with a grundgy edge and Loewe's cool, structured and fitted dresses, the familiar print in it many forms is set to be one of the biggest trends of the season.

At Red, we always need to be confident that a trend is here to stay before introducing it into our wardrobes – but tartan is a quintessential autumnal pattern that is unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon.

Ready to invest? In 2024, wearing tartan is all about layering and channelling your inner Lady-of-the-Manor vibe. The good news is that it's also super easy to style and genuinely wearable.

For an elevated look, throw on an oversized checked coat over a chic knitted dress and pair it with knee-high boots. Or style your high-waisted plaid skirt with a chunky knit and Mary Jane flats for an effortlessly feminine outfit.

You can also pair the print with this season's hero colour, burgundy, for the perfect autumnal outfit.
