Tartan

Today, tartan, which in Russia is called tartan, is associated primarily with an informal wardrobe. In addition to the obvious plaid flannel and cotton shirts, you should pay attention to outerwear, jumpers, trousers or skirts. We do not recommend combining plaid with other patterns - this is an already quite active drawing. Unless you can try to rhyme the cage on the lining of a jacket or coat with a different pattern on the shirt. Just remember to build a barrier - a solid color sweater will help balance the two different types of cage.
Goose foot

There are two types of crow's feet. The first is a large, usually black and white pattern. It attracts a lot of attention and must be handled carefully. In this case, it makes sense for women to limit themselves to one thing or combine the drawing with a more restrained cell (for example, a Windsor one). Men should be even more careful and prefer a smaller one to a large one. This is exactly the second type of goose foot - a barely distinguishable cell in brown, mustard, beige. Here you can allow yourself a little more freedom and even pick up a whole suit.
Glenchek

This cell has many names, the most common variants being Glen, Esterhazy, Prince of Wales, and Windsor. The picture is characterized by thin lines of close shades to each other, gathered in several rows and forming separate large squares, which are filled with a slightly noticeable goose foot. The king of Great Britain Edward VII made such a cage popular. He slightly transformed the pattern in his own way and began to wear glencheck suits in informal situations.
Traditionally, jackets, suits and coats are made from glencheck wool. The jacket can be worn with trousers that have a windway pattern (large check on a solid background). Provided that both items are in the same color scheme.
Blackwatch

169 Gitman Vintage Men's Shirt (Mr. Porter) $ 179 © press office
Medium cell - not too large, not too small. Primary colors are dark blue, green and black. Blackwatch is most often found on shirts, but it looks especially beautiful when it comes to tweed jackets. The phenomenon is popular, by the way, not only in men's but also in women's fashion. Versace has especially often been referring to the pattern lately. We recommend taking note of the coats, jackets and midi skirts, as they will go well with other English classics like jockey boots and Aran sweaters.
Madras cage
Polo Ralph Lauren Women's Shirt (Kutuzovskiy Prospekt, 31) $ 12,795

The Madras cage owes its name to an Indian city, where it was invented in the 18th century. Its key feature is the combination of bright wide stripes. Light green here can coexist with pink and turquoise, and orange with blue and canary yellow. This pattern is never small and is associated primarily with cotton summer shirts. However, fashion has long become an all-season one, and the Madras cage is no exception.
You should only wear it solo, other things should be as discreet as possible. It also looks good as a decoration - valves on pockets, cuffs, collars.

Perhaps the most traditional autumn check, which is made up of large rhombs of contrasting colors pierced with thin stripes. Argyle is native to Scotland, where it was once a type of tartan. In the 20th century, Argyle became popular thanks to Edward VIII: the monarch was fond of golf and wore high socks with a characteristic pattern. Argyle moved to sweaters and other knitwear closer to the 1930s and soon became a classic.
It looks best on sweaters. Keep in mind that argyle is quite difficult to get along with other drawings, however, you can try to make friends with it with a vertical stripe.
Vichy and Gingham

The traditional colors of this French cage, created in 1850 in the city of Vichy, are blue and red. Today the palette is much wider, and it is worth wearing the pattern not only in the warm season, but also in the autumn-winter season. The main features are thin crisscross stripes applied to a white background. Initially, the fabric with such a pattern was used for upholstering furniture, in addition, aprons, curtains and tablecloths were sewn from it. She came into fashion thanks to Brigitte Bardot, who married in a Vichy check dress from Jacques Esterel.
Vichy can be easily confused with gingham, which, in addition to two primary colors, also has one additional one. For example, a blue cell against a white background will have a lilac tint.
Vichy check shirts are worth choosing in the cold season: they are easy enough to integrate into your basic wardrobe, and at the same time combine with other prints.

One of the most common types of cells today. This is a simple intersection of solid or multi-colored stripes against a background of any color. Unlike many of its brethren, Windopein maintains a lasting neutrality: this pattern can be entered into the framework of a strict style, and into more relaxed in spirit images. In addition, depending on the color, such a cage can be combined with other patterns and prints.>
