All Things Gingham

Gingham has made the fashion rounds year after year. But did you know that gingham does not mean check or checked? It actually means striped. Yes, I said striped. The way we identify gingham is by its contrasting white and bold colored. To me, seeing people wearing this lightweight material signifies summer is here!

Here is some fashion inspiration for gingham style!

Add a pop of color to your gingham outfit, like a red crossbody satchel.

Do you like an off-the-shoulder dress? Then try it in a different length.

Gingham can be bold, pastel, or neutral.

I also love the look of gingham swimsuits, shoes, and accessories.

Gingham is such a classic fashion trend, that even Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, wears it. She styled it with a nude clutch and nude heels.
