#tartan

Trends are fun, faddish, and fleeting. Part of what makes them fun is that they don't last: A lifetime of bright pink is wearying, but indulging in a short period of Barbie-themed living makes us feel part of the zeitgeist. Then we tire of pink and move on. Christmas décor is as susceptible to trends as any other style. Remember white Christmas trees hung with single-color ornaments?

Anyone with even the slightest interest in trends can see that Ralph Lauren Christmas is blowing up all over your social media this holiday season. And while it's definitely having a moment, there's something about it that feels less trendy and more like nostalgic, classic Christmas, which is probably why it has such staying power on the feeds. If you're looking for an easy way into this year's top theme, consider adding a little extra tartan, a mainstay RL fabric, into your space.
