Last summer my favorite purchase was this this gingham top and skirt. Along with stripes, gingham is my favorite summer pattern. It just feels so fresh but with a nostalgic twist. Gingham was made for picnicking, bike riding and frolicking in flower fields (clearly). If you’re as gingham obsessed as I am, I’ve rounded up my favorite gingham pieces this season, with some inspiration on how to wear the peppy pattern like a style icon.

Audrey Hepburn knew the power of gingham. Here are some cute gingham pants in blue and in black here + here.

 Elizabeth Taylor also knew her way around gingham. J.Crew has cute gingham button-downs.

Can a girl ever have too many gingham shirts? A few sleeveless options here + here.

Kate Moss knows a thing or two about gingham. Here are some cute gingham shorts + a matching top.

And there’s no denying the power of a gingham dress. Two great options HERE + HERE.

This mini shift is super cute too. More cute gingham dresses here, here, here, here, here, here and here. And in red gingham here + here.

And can we talk about this floor-length gingham dress? I imagine wearing it to play hostess while serving drinks from my bar cart.

Love the yellow version too.

Do you love gingham as much as I do?

Here are more gingham pieces I’d love to scoop up:
