Gingham – THE pattern of summer 2021
Update your summer closet with the hottest pattern this season.
We all deserve clothes that bring us instant happiness once we put them on. To me, gingham is the dopamine of this summer’s closet!
Gingham is not new. It has been around since the 17th century, became the icon of the 50s-60s and made its comeback in the 80s and 90s. Recently, my IG feed has been flooded with the colorful gingham dresses, swimwear and accessories. Everyone’s wearing gingham in all colors, from Barbie pink, lilac, to pastel blue.
To me, gingham is most interesting when mixed with other unexpected items. For example, a gingham bra top with a bold floral bell pants. A pair of gingham pants and casual Birkenstock sandals. The gingham pattern can also be spotted on accessories such as tote bags or sandals.
Of course, you also can keep your outfit bright and stylish by other simple combinations. My favorites include a colorful gingham top, paired a denim skirt. A gingham sundress is perfect for a picnic in the park. I also like wearing gingham on my accessories: gingham sandals with a white maxi skirt is THE outfit of summer 2021. How about a bright color bikini (think bright pink, yellow, orange) mixed with an oversized white shirt and a gingham bucket hat? No matter how you wear gingham, one way or another, it will lift your mood and bring your closet a fresh breeze this summer. Trust me, you just cannot go wrong with gingham!
