From picnic blanket vibes to pretty office looks, gingham proves that some patterns never really go out of style — and the classic, pastel-heavy, checkered pattern is back and ready to dominate your summer wardrobe like it's 1950 all over again.
The beauty of gingham lies in its chameleon-like ability to adapt to any occasion. Pair a gingham dress with sneakers for farmer's market runs, or dress it up with heels for brunch dates. The pattern works just as well on flowing maxi skirts as it does on structured blouses, making it incredibly versatile for building a cohesive summer wardrobe. Plus, gingham photographs beautifully, which explains why it's suddenly popping up all over social media feeds.
