It’s the summer of gingham. (And also, sardines, butter yellow, crochet, and roping.) But gingham is somehow the tie that binds all these nano-trends together with its sweet, homespun, outdoor-picnic vibe: it’s just asking for bare feet and sunshine.
Gingham Summer Dresses.
I want to start with two standout red gingham dresses I’ve been ogling from afar —
CORALIE DRESS // BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY DRESS
If you like the mini, you might also like the version of this dress Doen released in their collab with Gap — under $100 and still somehow fully stocked. I ordered this!
Navy Gingham for Summer.
Which brings us right into navy gingham — iconic and maybe a tad less on-the-nose than red gingham. My top picks below:
AGGIE GINGHAM CHECK PEPLUM TOP // SMOCKED CAMI // LINEN GINGHAM MIDI DRESS
Pastel Gingham.
Posse knocked the pastel gingham vibe out of the park with this gorgeous pink gingham jacket and shorts set — swoon!

A few other standouts in a softer color palette below —
DELIA TOP // KITTIYA GINGHAM MIDI DRESS
Chocolate Gingham.
Lastly, I am swooning over all things chocolate brown for summer. Love the idea of mixing and matching brown patterns with rattan and roping. It just works! Two favorite finds below —
EVERETT GINGHAM MIDI DRESS // HAINA GINGHAM SHORTS
Not pictured but on my mind: Hill House’s Giana gingham swimsuit!
