Soft Colours

Softer tones of colours are currently very in trend and contemporary highlandwear reflects this. Softer hues of strong, rich colours run throughout some tartans and which allows for all the corresponding shades to thrive together within the patterns – no colour is too overpowering, no shade is taken away from. The colours all blend together beautifully as well as being able to stand out within their own rights. The delicate colours step away from an oversaturation of colour and chooses to, instead, embrace tones more similar to the beautiful Scottish highlands.

A key example of this can be found within our exclusive ‘Weathered Pride’ tartan. This tartan features beautifully soothing shades of green, brown and light cyan blue to play upon the natural tones of the stunning Scottish landscapes.

Earthy Tones

Rich and fragrant earth tones can be found within the softer shades. Oakwood browns, delicate natural greens and deep oceanic blues are a few of the many shades that can be played upon in trending tartans. These pigments are versatile and draw from Scotland’s authentic beauty.

A great example of these can be found in our range of tweed jackets.

Texture

Texture within menswear is very in trend as a whole but it comes forth brilliantly within Highlandwear. Texture often presents itself in the current trends within tweed. Tweed jackets allow for a standout piece as they include a point of difference within the ensemble. They can also break up the, sometimes, monochromatic styling that can be found within plain jackets alongside matching kilts.

Tweed jackets also fit within the now popular, natural tones that can be seen in contemporary tartan. Found often in light greens and browns, these jackets greatly mimic a walk through the Scottish countryside. Tweed jackets can also be on the plain side which can bring out the shades within the tartan and can amplify the once softer colours in a positive way and let them pop.

Muted

While these colours and earthy shades may not be as exaggerated as some of the tartans presented within the last fashion seasons, these natural tartans often allow for accessorisation to shine. With delicate colouring, you can pick a show stopping sporran, or an unique kilt pin or even an eye catching belt buckle.
