Style Theory: Gingham was featured on the SS16 catwalks by Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney and Celine to name but a few. It was re-worked for a more grown up look in tailored jackets, midi slip dresses and trousers. It is the perfect item to add to your wardrobe to give it a 'Fashion Lift' for this season..(apologies for the title, I couldn't resist!)
Here are the best gingham pieces on the high street now and how to style..
A great way to dip your toe into the trend without investing too much money. This shirt will look fab with khaki cargo trousers and trainers or heels (as streetstyle image above) It will also look lovely in the summer with cut off denim shorts and tan or black flat sandals.
This 100% cotton shirt looks amazing, it is boho perfection with tailored edge. I love the thought of this on a summer's day with cut off 501 shorts and tan majorcan sandals, a few fine gold necklaces of different lengths and a tan slouchy boho leather bag..stunning.
A boxy top, would look fab with skinny, kick flare blue jeans and flatform, white supergas.
The cutest little gingham shorts, these would look great with a relaxed denim shirt and white supergas.
A fab 'cecile copenhagen' tribute, this slouchy viscose/cotton mix tee will look great over ankle length blue skinny jeans this Spring/summer. Add a pair of black leather, flat strappy sandals for a cool, laid back look.
The perfect tailored gingham dress, the pencil skirt makes the print look grown up and it features this season's must have the 'cold shoulder'
I love the high front and low back of this dress, it would look fab styled as the streetstyle image above with a pair of stan smiths and add a red bag for a pop of colour.
So not necessarily gingham but black and white and I am strangely obsessed with this knitted vest top. I love the idea of it again with levis cut offs and flat sandals in the summer, the perfect alternative to the basic vest top. Love the shoes as well but cannot track them down?!
I am definitely going to buy into the gingham trend, it can look so chic and elegant paired with the right look. What do you think of gingham, do you already have some gingham items in your wardrobe? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time, Fran xxx
