It is all about the Plaid: Heritage Pattern, Modern Styling

From countryside heritage to punk rebellion. Plaid has always belonged to women who dress with confidence and individuality.

At Laundry B, we love plaid because it holds contrast. It feels nostalgic yet modern, familiar yet directional. It is a pattern that moves effortlessly between eras - that is exactly how we wear it now.

A Brief History of Plaid in Fashion.

Plaid originated in Scottish Tartans, where patterns represented identity, family and place. The earlier plaids were practical, hard-wearing and deeply rooted in the landscape - later becoming a staple of British countryside clothing.

But plaid has never been purely traditional. In the late 20th century, it was reimagined through punk culture and designers like Vivienne Westwood, who transformed plaid into a symbol of rebellion and creative freedom. From heritage to subculture, plaid has evolved into a pattern that resists definition.

Today, plaid fashion sits comfortably in both worlds - classic and disruptive, timeless and expressive.

How to Wear Plaid Now.

Modern plaid styling is about ease, texture and confidence - not rules.

This season,  Laundry B will focus on relaxed plaid silhouettes made from soft, brushed cottons that feel as good as they look. A barrel-shaped trouser and neckerchief shirt adds shape without stiffness, designed to flatter and move with the body.

We layer plaid through lightweight mesh pieces, adding depth and modernity. Style it with denim for everyday wearability. Plaid also works beautifully mixed with other prints, try polka dots or a floral. This confident and creative approach feels instinctive rather than styled.

Finished with trainers or boots, plaid becomes effortlessly wearable from day to evening.

Women's plaid Clothing, the Laundry B Way.

At Laundry B, plaid is not about following trends. It is about individuality.

Our women's plaid clothing is designed for those who want to stand out quietly - creative, comfortable and confident in themselves. It is for women who value fabric, fit and feel. As well as understanding that great style is not dictated by age or fashion cycles.

Plaid has always been worn by those who think differently. This season, we are wearing our way - relaxed, expressive and unapologetically personal.
