Summer Fashion Trend 2017: Gingham ~

Gingham is one of the major patterns trends this year for summer. As you know, one of my strongly held fashion beliefs is that personal style is just that-personal. So words like “trend” and “in style” should mean nothing more to you than this is what to expect in stores, and give you inspiration on ways to wear it, if it fits your personal style.

Let’s also remember that not all trends are good trends (cargo shorts, socks and sandals, etc…) You should never buy something just because it’s “in style”. Wear what you like, and what feels good to you, but also be open to the inspiration that new styles can bring to your current wardrobe. You may be surprised to find that you like what’s new, fresh, and readily available. With that said, read on and maybe give gingham a second look…

Let’s Talk Gingham

One of the big patterns for summer this year is gingham. Expect it on shirts, dresses, pants, bathing suits, and everything in between. It’s not a new pattern- but it’s come a long way from the picnic table. Instead of the traditional red gingham, we are seeing lots of soft pink, navy, and even black this summer. Instead of the traditional, rustic look, it’s also much more feminine this season with chic touches like bows and ruffles. Here are a few of my favorite pink, black, and navy gingham pieces for summer 2017. Enjoy!
