One pattern that could not stop being mentioned in fashion weeks this new season is plaid. Like the continuous popularity of the velvet jackets, plaid has been a recurrent trend in menswear during the last couple of years and is showing no sign of abating.

Nevertheless, over the past two or three years plaid has been shown as the embodiment of a rugged masculinity in the form of a grungy look or hunting or lumber jackets, for the autumn/winter of 2011/12, designers have extended the signification of plaid into the realm of luxury and ancestry. Whether in the form of tartan, houndstooth or Prince of Wales, plaid has been espoused as the avatar of aristocratic descent and heritage through the language of garments.
With its impeccable dominance on the runway shows in Milan, Paris and New York and with its prominence on the high street fashion brands, this is one pattern that is likely to feature more prominently than ever in mens wardrobes this season and in coming years.
