Last summer my favorite purchase was this this gingham top and skirt. Along with stripes, gingham is my favorite summer pattern. It just feels so fresh but with a nostalgic twist. Gingham was made for picnicking, bike riding and frolicking in flower fields (clearly). If you’re as gingham obsessed as I am, I’ve rounded up my favorite gingham pieces this season, with some inspiration on how to wear the peppy pattern like a style icon.

Audrey Hepburn knew the power of gingham. Here are some cute blue gingham pants.

 Elizabeth Taylor also knew her way around gingham. J.Crew has cute gingham button-downs.

Can a girl ever have too many gingham shirts?

Kate Moss knows a thing or two about gingham.

And there’s no denying the power of a gingham dress. This blue gingham dress is perfect.

And can we talk about this floor-length gingham dress?

I wore the green version to the Veuve Clicquot Polo match in LA a few years ago.

Do you love gingham as much as I do?

Here are some more gingham pieces I’d love to scoop up:
