Colour:

Shades: A bright, highcontrast palette featuring a clean white ground accented by dark green, navy, black, red and yellow. The white replaces the traditional blue base of the standard MacLaren sett, with a centred blue stripe added for definition.

Design: A Dress adaptation of the classic MacLaren sett, created in 1981 by modifying the original pattern: the usual blue ground is replaced with white, while the core geometry, including the green, black and red blocks, is retained. Fine yellow and blue overstrips intersect the white ground, maintaining the rhythm and structure of the original MacLaren layout.

Overall: A clear, crisp and ceremonial interpretation of the MacLaren tartan. The white ground elevates the visual brightness and emphasises the precision of the sett, giving the MacLaren Dress tartan a formal, distinguished character suited to dress occasions and traditional attire.
