How To Style Your Tartan Trainers

If you have met Emily on the marketing team at ScotlandShop you will know she absolutely loves sneakers, and as a graduate of textiles what could please her more than the combination of sneakers and plaid? Today we share a few outfit ideas to guarantee your new Sneakers look as fabulous as they should.

Our first outfit focuses on the MacFarlane Clan Modern Trainers. This tartan is now in stock and definitely the perfect pair to wear over the festive period, since the tartan is predominantly red and green, the colours of Christmas. We released the gorgeous Pencil Skirts in the MacFarlane tartan, so naturally we had to give you a pair of sneakers to match, because who says you can't wear sneakers with a pencil skirt? Certainly not ScotlandShop. This outfit is great if you have an occasion where you need to dress more formally, but you also need to be comfortable. Or wear those super high heels at the start and pop your sneakers in your bag for the dance floor later! Wear with our Peplum Cashmere Sweater in Black and add a Petal Brooch in the matching plaid to finish the look off.

Our next ensemble features the Edinburgh Plaid Sneakers and for this outfit we decided to go a bit more casual for those of you who don't particularly like dressing up all the time. However you will still stand out from the crowd, with all black skinny jeans and our Round Neck Lambswool Sweater, allowing your sneakers to take centre stage as the colour pop and focus of the outfit. A Brushed Wool Tartan Scarf in the matching plaid was then added to pull the look together, while also keeping you extra cosy.

Emily was so excited about the new Plaid Sneakers that she had her very own pair made in the New York City Tartan for when she visits the big apple for New York City Tartan Week. I have styled her super cool sneakers with our Round Neck Lambswool Sweater, along with a Tartan Mini Kilt and matching Sporran Bag. This outfit is really beautiful, especially if you love a good colour combination, and paired with the different items in the New York City tartan creates a pulled together look.

We use our 10oz wool fabric to make the sneakers giving you unlimited options in your choice of plaid, with a full leather lining, creating not only a beautiful shoe, but a comfortable and breathable one as well. Choose from the plaid sneakers in stock, or have yours custom made in any one of over 500 plaid. The (plaid sneaker) world is your oyster!

We would love to know what you pair your Plaid Sneakers with, whether you go for one of our beautiful stock pairs or create your very own pair in a plaid of your choosing. Send your pictures over to us by messaging us on Facebook, tagging us on Instagram or emailing us at info@scotlandshop.com.
