Perhaps surprisingly for the spring season, plaid will be a key pattern for SS25. The word is derived from the Scottish Gaelic term "plaide," originally referring to a blanket or cloak. Over time, the fabric was woven in distinctive checked patterns, with unique designs for different clans.

It is so versatile that these days it is found in various forms across fashion, textiles, and home décor. It's used in everyday clothing, high fashion, and even as a symbol of a casual or rustic aesthetic.

Overall, plaid remains a versatile and enduring pattern that reflects cultural traditions while evolving within contemporary fashion and design. Here are ten examples from the SS25 runways.
