Tartan looks
Planet fashion has had the Highland treatment with checks and plaids spotted on the autumn/winter \'08 catwalks at Dolce & Gabbana, Preen, Ralph Lauren and Balmain to name a few. From voluminous coats and skinny trousers to ruffled blouses and rock chick dresses, tartan has gone from traditional and country to sexy and cool. So here at Getlippy we thought it was only fair to share our fashion know-how with you and show you how to work the trend now.

French Connection dress
This little strapless number from French Connection in black and midnight-blue checks is a chic way to work the tartan trend without going for full-on traditional red plaids. In fact, High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens was seen in a stylishly similar version recently.
