plaid patterns
Crisscrossing colored stripes
Plaid patterns are designs of intersecting horizontal and vertical stripes in multiple colors, forming a grid of overlapping rectangles.
Originally associated with Scottish tartans, where specific patterns identified clans, plaid now appears widely in clothing and textiles: a plaid flannel shirt, plaid pajama pants.
The pattern reads as casual, rustic, or academic depending on context.
