plaids

Crisscrossing fabric designs

Plaids are patterns consisting of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical lines forming a checkered design, most famously associated with Scottish tartans.

The word also refers to fabrics or garments featuring such patterns: She wore one of those plaids that look like a tablecloth.

In Scottish tradition, a plaid is specifically a length of tartan cloth worn over the shoulder as part of Highland dress.
