Why Street Style Stars Are Taking Cues From the Outlander Set

[Sir William]

I am not at all sure that the Outlander TV series is shown here in the UK. I can't say that I have even seen it advertised. Perhaps I have just missed it? I can also say that the books are hardly the topic of conversation here either.

The majority of young ladies that I see here in the UK want little to do with tartan or tweed, even the fashion conscious and more affluent ones. It is something that I have noticed since the 1950's.

Here in the US, Outlander has almost as fanatic a following as Downton Abbey. From a historical perspective, the series is hard to stomach. My 1745 living history group is constantly explaining to people at various Scottish/Celtic games and living history programs some of the inaccuracies in as diplomatic a manner as possible...usually to little effect.
