Cute gingham pieces to upgrade your wardrobe with

FT NEWS

Need a break from your current wardrobe of basic kurtas and slogan T-shirts? Meet the romantic, transitional-weather cousin of plaid: gingham. The weave gained popularity thanks to Judy Garland's dress in Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz (1939), and iconic French actor Brigitte Bardot even sported a pink gingham dress at her wedding in 1959. Despite its retro appeal, the pattern is currently having a fashion moment. Whether it be pleated, ruffled or layered, the happy-go-lucky weave is just what you need to inject joy to your transitional wardrobe. This season’s offerings focus on contrasts—styling gingham with clashing prints or adding decorative elements.
