One of the big trends for summer this year is gingham – which may sound odd, because since when is traditional gingham considered to be trendy? Chalk it up to “Grannycore,” or a general feeling of nostalgia, or just a desire to look crisp and cool. But gingham is big right now, and there are lots of cool ways to play it. We’ve rounded up 14 luxury designer gingham fashion picks we love for Spring Summer 2023 including dresses, tops, hair accessories, and much more.
14 luxury gingham fashion picks we love for Spring Summer 2023
Gingham is a timeless warm weather classic, beloved by finance bros, prairie folk, young school children and fashionistas alike. Don’t believe us? Bridgitte Bardot was married in it. Jackie Kennedy was often seen in it. And more recently stars like Rihanna, Dua Lipa and Mindy Kaling have wowed us in it. No fabric has such versatility – not to mention staying power.
First made in Asia, Gingham was popularized by the Dutch and English in the 18th century. But it wasn’t until 1916 that gingham took off as a domestic fabric in the US when a Kansas City designer named Nelly Don created a pink gingham house dress that the fabric became a phenomenon. Cut to Judy Garland donning a light blue version in The Wizard of Oz with a pair of glittering red shoes and the rest is fashion history.
Today gingham peppers the offices of Goldman Sachs on button downs, adorns picnic tables, pre-schools, Sunday brunches and the spring/summer runways of Acne Studios, Rosie Assoulin, Lela Rose and Ganni. The latest designer iterations lend a fresh perspective to the iconic motif, with things like creamy pastels, feminine tailoring and romantic details, in addition to the more traditional blue and white ginghams of its origins.
From girly gingham dresses to wear with your favorite summer sandals to work friendly pants and blazers, this lively print is perfect for pretty much all occasions. Check out our 14 favorite luxury gingham picks ahead – pun absolutely intended.
