The Worldwide Celebration of Plaid 2022
 |
I always recognize this pattern and usually speak to those wearing it.
I am not one to don the kilt and wear the authentic regalia of my ancestry for various reasons ...
Such as the absence of under garments with my package left hanging in the air.
Regardless, I was once more prone to wear plaid but nowadays opt for something a little less involved.
I think that the pleats which were absolutely required in the garb had a hand in my rejection of plaid in my old age.
Actually, I don't reject it so much as avoid it.
I think it's perfectly fine to don your superbly pleated kilt and grab your bagpipe if you're so inclined. It's a ceremonial thing anymore.
Pomp and circumstance not withstanding today is Plaidurday. It is an international celebration of plaid.
It happens each year on the first Friday of October.
It's just not exactly my personal preference in color schemes anymore. I'm more of an earth tones and blue kind of man these days.
Perhaps it was Wayne Newton's plaid suit on the Beverly Hillbillies when I was a kid.
Whatever your orientation to fabrics these days happy Plaidurday to you !
