Interesting New Ways to Wear Gingham

One of the hottest prints this summer is gingham. It’s getting a much-needed makeover and here are some of the ways to rock the look.

Opt for an unexpected shade like green or purple instead of red or navy. It transforms the look from preppy to fresh. A subtle muted hue like a pastel peach or pale pink will allow you to get away with longer pieces without feeling as though you’re draped in a tablecloth.

If you’re not ready to embrace gingham in a big way, try out a gingham accessory like a silk scarf, clutch or stilettos.

Perhaps you’re already into gingham and feel that it embodies the fun of the summer season. Wear a tiered ruffle maxi skirt or some oversized puffy sleeves for a fun, party vibe.

Play down the girly feel of gingham with sporty accessories like sneakers or a mesh tank top.

If your gingham print is black or navy, treat it like a neutral and it will suddenly go with many pieces in your wardrobe, including florals. Add a dress to your wardrobe that already uses gingham and a floral together, like a gingham flower smock mini dress with an embroidered flower design.
