If I'd have told my 7 year old self I'd be rocking a gingham dress again 16 years down the line, (this time without the matching white and blue frilly socks though), I'd have probably spat my fruit shoot out all down myself. Just a few years ago, that 90's print meant nothing but a nostalgic memory of spending my primary school years running around the playground playing kiss-chase (oh yeah, remember that) donning my blue and white gingham summer dress that I'd waited all Winter to whack out. But fast-forward a few years, with no playground in sight and gingham has made a serious comeback, setting itself up to be quite possibly the biggest spring/summer trend this year, if those SS17 catwalk shows were anything to go by. And unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, then you'll have noticed the massive influx of
that classic print that never truly went away all over the high street and splashed all over your Instagram feeds.
Thanks to Pinterest, street style shots from LFW have been giving me all the gingham inspo and have inspired me to inject a bit of this classic print into my wardrobe. Not that I needed much persuading to be honest, as anything which is black and white is A-ok with me, as you know I do love my monochrome. So I went away and did what I do best and have scoured the high street to find the best gingham pieces in the shops right now. So if you're feeling brave and feel like you need some gingham trousers in your life then I've got you covered, or if you want to test the waters first with a gingham style top, then yup you guessed it, I've got you covered too. Or, if you're too intimated to do the whole 2-piece gingham shabang, then the perfect way to play it a little safer and to incorporate some gingham print into your outfit little-by-little, is in the form of accessories. So get routing around in that loft and you might even find a gingham scrunchie or two, or better yet, a pair of those frilly socks from your school days!
P.S I wonder how many times I'm gonna say the word
