Contrast or Coordinate?

The craze of the checked plaid originated back in the 19th century when Sir Walter Scott set the trend with a pair of tweed tartan trousers. This bold statement set a fashion frenzy which later influenced the world-famous Harris Tweed® cloth.

Would you enjoy wearing these vibrant colours or are you a fan of a more muted pattern?
