LoveShackFancy
Tartan is basically our unofficial pattern of the holiday season—right there with the rest of our seasonal dress code: sequins, velvet, and a good bow, obviously.
There's just something about a classic plaid print that feels unequivocally festive, whether you're sporting red-and-green checks that scream "Merry Christmas" or a more modern take on the trend, like the tartan sequin mini of my dreams.
It's a rare breed of trendy and timeless (an oxymoron? Maybe. Still true? Yes), that can be worn for a wholesome family dinner or chic holiday soirée. Since you probably have both on the calendar—and maybe a secret santa happy hour, white elephant bash, and Festival of Lights gathering scheduled too—we've rounded up quite the range of plaid dresses.
Aiming for best-dressed guest? Keep scrolling to shop our favorite tartan styles from Amazon, Revolve, Nordstrom, and more retailers—starting at just $30.
