plaid is the pattern most commonly associated with scotland and its cultural trademark, the kilt. different plaids represent many different clans, or family trees within the scottish culture. a plaid variation can represent different branches of a family with the same ancestry. Plaid in north america represents a traditional school uniform, or school child garb. It is commonly found in the uniform of most catholic schools as the skirt for girls. otherwise, plaid is considered one of the oldest patterns, due to its history of being woven in scotland.

woops i thought it was “played” but it’s not, don’t rhyme with said, thought i forgot. keep on goin with the tick tock. checkers and stripes,try it out if you might. be a little hip, go on and work it a lil bit. ain’t no cowboy but i’ll rock n roll with this shit
I always wondered, until I was in my twenties, what exactly was plaid. I’d heard it spoken many times, and it was only much later I discovered it was what I would call tartan-ish
Plaid is something that reminds me of scottish kilts. Scottish kilts are generally worn by guys who are hot. Although there was a guy here yesterday at work wearing one and it was anything but hot. Ugly people should not be allowed to wear plaid kilts. That is my belief. It ruins it for everyone.

A person wearing plaid should always be obeyed.
With such an invasive pattern on it’s a signal to misbehave.
And if you’re feeling inspired, or want to join the game
Go to your nearest charity shop and give it a little raid.

The lines crisscrossed one another. Thick, thicker, small, bigger, even smaller. I look at the people, there seemed to be a similar pattern big, small, bigger, in between, small, small, biggest. Just as plaid cannot be plaid without all the mispatterned lines, the city could not be the city without all the misspatterned people to make it. The world is not a puzzle that one needs to solve, it is a just a collection of trinkets that they need to make beautiful.

Cool kids where plaid. All the hipsters try to show they are somehow an individual by wearing plaid. The lumberjack thing–declare yourself

plaid reminds me of fashion, mondo from project runway. its a risk, a definite risk. plaid says look at me, im different, i dont want to be like everyone else and i want everyone else to know it. plaid is a statement, plaid constantly scream “look at me” at the top of its lungs.
Madi
it keeps you in line while crossing the borders and making changes to the straight and narrow. It’s new and old, it’s life and death. cross the road and find another to somewhere new. While you think you can find the end it’s a circle of line and squares. Even if the people you love are in line and never change it doesn’t mean they are finding something interesting along the way.

John rifled through David’s closet with a bemused smirk on his face, passing by the long trenchcoat which the BBC had let him keep, and breaking out into a grin when he came to the plaid flannel shirt. Oh, he’d be sure to tease the lumberjack wanna-be with this later.
plaid is often seen on people who have a spectacular fashion sense, or none whatsoever. It can be said that these people enjoy the pattern but do not know how to wear it. Plaid is usually worn during the colder months. Jackets and shorts are the most common pieces of clothing.

hispter fuckers love this pattern, as do hunters and other people wanting to hide in browny coloured places… dykes love it too, because they’re all hidden in their little wooden closets. It’s kinda checked, but tighter.
Alison Rome
Plaid. Not nearly as popular as it once was. But why? In our time more and more people wear solid bright colors rather than accenting more dull colors.

everywhere on the lumber
jacks swinging their arms
lacking the axes that they once

spinning blades that whir and cut down trees

criss cross my nicker bockers flavor the sky bellied jellbows onto my left nostril my hairs are plaid, my pants are plaid, my sky is plaid, everything once was plaid for it it is the cover of all flannel and beck.
Casey
dead men don’t wear it, they say. I call it tartan, myself. My sister used to have a tartan skirt with knife pleats and a little leather belt and buckle… lovely

I ran out of the fitting room, screaming bloody murder.
“What is it?” The Doctor asked, looking up from a magazine.
“The plaid pants are attacking.”
“That’s nice.”
“No, literally this time.” I showed the bite mark on my arm.
The Doctor wrinkled his nose. “That’s disgusting. Even more than regular plaid.”

One sign of a nerd. Plaid shirts tucked into way too high pants. Carrying around their notebooks, they dodge bullies. Calculators and rulers are also in style for the nerd. Seems that the plaid shirt hides a secret human being inside.
Bri
My son likes to wear plaid shirts to school. He has a look that I admire. I saw a picture of him just 6 months ago and he looks like a different person. How great to see our children thrive.
sue
i’ve already done this one, is it just one a day? That seems silly, i’m keen to write and you don’t seem to be letting me.
The Scots of distant lands, draped in intricate patterns of plaid in wool. I, a young woman, lie in a sea of paisley of the finest Indian cotton. How this world turns, how we collide.

is a pattern, more commonly known to british people as check, as plaid is the american name for it. I think it was more commonly used in the 80’s and 90’s and i frequently get plaid and tartan mixed up…..

Oh, plaid again? Is every pair of your shorts plaid? I know one day you’ll grow out of those silly plaid things, but I can’t help but wonder if you’ll redo your wardrobe completely with plaid. Oh you. Plaid is just one of your lovely quirks.
Abigail
Plaid is the color of childhood in pretty pink or masculine blue, but as one grows up they can
t see sunshine through the window bars of plaid, it becomes the jailer of the adolescent teenager when what else is there to do but where plaid because it seems to be in style again.
Abigail
I feel hurt, i feel like you used me..you never cared about me.. i was stupid… why do i keep trying to stop myself from thinking about you every day i cant stop thinking about you you broke my heart you crushed me you used me i dont know how to get over you

so i had a plaid dress on and i was walking into school when i fell down the stairs and died. and my plaid dresswas stained. i came back to life and always wore plaid because thats now my favorite pattern. swag.
samson
Plaid can be very ugly or very beautiful. Personally I would never wear it, but it looks good on some people. I don’t know much about the style, but it is the style of many kilts in Scotland. I don’t think men should wear skirts. Speaking of Scotland, I would very much like to go one day to see the Loch Ness Monster. I believe that he/she is still out there.

The shirt he was wearing surprised her. It did more than surprise her actually, it made her laugh. Her laughter caused her to double over, holding her stomach as she gaspe for breath. As the giggles finally subsided, she was confronted with his slightly irritated face, “And what is it that is so funny?” She swallowed, “I just thought you were a lumberjack from far away sempai…”
Always makes me think of flannel. For years I thought they were interchangeable and inseparable, as if the pattern itself could not exist on anything but a thick, soft, warm fabric. It was just the same with the vice versa and I remember one Christmas, my parents gave me flannel sheets and they were solid white with NFL helmets and logos on them. I didn’t believe it was flannel, because it wasn’t plaid.
the shirt that she usually wears is too large for her but it is her father’s shirt and she’ll only be able to see him in pictures and possibly in heaven. but she wears it because it makes her feel safe.
The man got out of the car wearing a blue, green and grey plaid shirt. Sure it look cozy and warm, but it was definitely lacking in excitement. I suppose for a blind date, it is good to know up front that he likes plaid!
I remember the first time I thought of wearing plaid. I mean, I had always known I could, but seeing it on Britney Spears at age six was not a convincing reason (for me at least) to don anything with that pattern. My mother hides certain possessions from me, and then randomly gives me others. I suppose she always wanted to have a daughter some day who would wear them. Unfortunately, the plaid item was a poncho and the thought of wearing it the yellow and red plaid spelled social ruin for my 10-year-old- self.
