Tartan patterns

PLAIDS

Think of the crisscrossing stripes often seen on Scottish kilts or flannel shirts, especially in autumn fashion.

"Plaids" is the answer because tartan refers to the distinctive crisscrossed horizontal and vertical stripes associated with Scottish kilts, and "plaids" is the common term for these woven patterns. The word can also describe any fabric with a similar checked design, making it a straightforward match. No wordplay here—just a direct link between the pattern and its well-known name.
