Dress Codes: How did plaid become popular for school uniforms?

 


After Stuart’s defeat, tartan was restricted in its use for decades in Scotland through Great Britain’s Dress Act, but it had a fashionable revival in the early 19th century that received royal support, particularly from Queen Victoria. 

The era saw an “elite appropriation” of Highland craft and lifestyle, Maxwell explained. 

Previously a formidable sight to encounter on the battlefield, it now represented a different kind of pride in the form of status and wealth, making it an ideal textile to use in schools promoting prestige and heritage.
