Of the many styles that have been trending this summer, gingham prints are one of my absolute favourites. Now, gingham is no stranger when it comes to summer trends. It’s popularity began near 500 years ago and it has remained a warm weather staple since.
The lovely thing about gingham is that absolutely anyone can wear it. It is refreshingly androgynous and the print itself comes in a multitude of colours and sizes. This summer, designers have used gingham in so many new surprising ways. From ruffled skirts to slinky bikinis this classic print has certainly come a long way since Dorthy wore her famous gingham dress in the Wizard of Oz.
Here are 4 gorgeous ways to incorporate a little gingham into your own wardrobe. Oh, and make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of today’s post for the chance to win an amazing giveaway prize!

The first gingham item I picked up this season was this fun little off the shoulder dress. I ordered it before we left on our trip to Bali. With all the photos we had taken on our trip, I actually forgot we had ever even photographed this look! So today’s photos are a little bit of a throwback to our vacation earlier this year.
