Bring On Summer With These 7 Gingham Looks

There's something so classic about gingham — especially when Summer rolls around, which is why we partnered with Nordstrom for this post.

Just a touch retro yet so on trend, gingham is a print that seems to always come back in style once warmer weather hits. And we're not talking looks reminiscent of old-school tablecloths or classic pinafore dresses. Today's gingham is crisp paired with skinnies or bold when mixed and matched with other prints. And once you start seeing this print on the street, you can just about smell Summer in the air. Here are tips for wearing the trend.

It's always on trend to pair black and white — even with gingham. Here, Lily James proves the look is anything but boring.

If you aren't sure how to jump on the gingham trend, think about sticking with one item of clothing, like pants. Pair with neutral accessories for a solid combo.

Gingham looks so chic when layered on top or underneath — or both! Stick with similar colors or pieces in the same pattern family, creating a finished look.

The print is sometimes considered old school but you can give gingham new life by wearing it with modern touches, like these heels with chain adornments. It keeps the classic feel while bringing the pattern to 2015.

You can add bright color when wearing gingham, but it's smart to stick with accessories, like these red shoes, which won't detract from the print's charm. But you can also find gingham in a wide variety of colors, so don't let the basic black-and-white print stop you from exploring other looks.

If you're feeling like mixing and matching using a gingham print, keep other items within the same color palette for a uniform outfit.

There's something so fresh about gingham paired with a pastel, like this pink crop top over a full black and white skirt. The look just screams Summer, and working in a similarly colored heel pulls the outfit together.
