These tartan plaid women’s clothing styles make for the most festive fashion for Fall through Christmas. I like to call fashion like this “Home Alone chic” and I usually add at least one new tartan plaid women’s clothing item to my very preppy, classic and traditional wardrobe each holiday season.
This post answers what tartan plaid is, tells you where to buy tartan plaid women’s clothing, highlights some featured picks and gives you even more options to shop.
What is tartan plaid?
Tartan is, historically, Scottish patterned cloth consisting of crisscrossed, horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors designed by the local region. The weaving technique forms visible diagonal lines, repeating vertically and horizontally in a distinctive pattern of squares and lines.
In North America, it is known as tartan plaid and worn during the Christmas season.

Although it was *so* hard to choose favorites, as there are so many gorgeous tartan plaid women’s clothing styles this year, below are some of my favorite tartan plaid women’s clothing styles.
Dress
The colors and details of this Vineyard Vines dress are absolute perfection! It’s a great modern take on traditional tartan plaid.
Skirt
I love the blue tones in this simple Talbots skirt, and how it can be dressed up or down.
Pants
These J. Crew wool pants ooze traditional 80s and 90s prep style.
Shirt
I have this button-down shirt from J. Crew from the previous year, and I love how the ruffled collar and cuffs both feminize the look and peak out when layered.
Blazer
The pink tones in this J. Crew blazer make a major statement and scream, “I’m here and I’m ready for Christmas!”

This quilted J. Crew jacket makes a statement, yet isn’t too bold. It would look great with jeans and canvas sneakers.
