Trends come and go, but some stay for a while, making them classics. When it comes to trends that define spring and summer, florals and gingham have stood the test of time. Speaking of the latter, many people often think of gingham as an upgrade to traditional checks, but let’s tell you it’s different. What distinguishes Gingham from checks is that it isn’t a print; it is a lightweight material that was originally covered with stripes but has evolved into the playful checkered pattern that we see today.
Diving deeper into the trend, designers are highlighting this as a season favourite in their collections. And it’s only right to stock up on all the gorgeous gingham pieces. From Tory Burch to Kate Spade and more, here is Luxebook’s edit of delightful gingham fashion essentials to wear on repeat this spring/summer.
