It can be a kind of cloth woven with the design, or a name for the design itself. Fashion-wise, it’s a bold but versatile pattern. Plaid is traditionally made from wool or flannel with a multi-colored tartan design — in other words, a pattern of vertical and horizontal bands of color.

In Scotland, a plaid is actually a traditional blanket-like garment, and in Gaelic, plaide means "blanket."
