Gingham! New ways to wear summer's #1 print
The cute check to check out right now.
If there's one print to check off your buying list this summer, gingham is it.
Gingham's being been spotted on stars like Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski; Sienna Miller has been known to dress up in it too. And when it's worn head-to-toe, or paired with basics like denim and '90s shades, it's easy to see the appeal of the summery pattern.
Here are 8 fun pieces to help you add a touch of gingham to your summer look, or rock the print all over!
