If you have classic style, you’re probably not shopping for very many trends right now (if at all). Summertime usually brings out the much more whimsical and extraverted side of things, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you said you have trouble finding more understated and timeless pieces this time of year. Despite some of the more forward trends of the moment, there is one that’s bubbling up again this year, and it’s about as anti-trend as any “trend” can get. I’m talking about gingham, the classic print that’s having another moment right now.
Gingham may not be new (it seems to come back around each summer, making it a trend with tons of longevity), but with so many fresh and forward pieces flooding the market from brands like High Sport, Posse, and Dôen, it’s never felt more relevant than it does in 2025. With that, I’m sharing all the cutest gingham pieces that I know will resonate with even the staunchest classic dressers among us—from airy cotton midi dresses to tailored shorts sets.
