The Gingham Look

Gingham is a medium-weight, plain-woven fabric typically featuring a two-color checkered pattern. Gingham is made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarns, and the check pattern is woven in, not printed, resulting in the same pattern on both sides of the fabric. Gingham is known for its affordability and versatile use in clothing and home goods. Gingham is one of those fashion looks that comes around from time to time. Gingham is a trendy piece that usually is trending during the summer months.

Gingham is not a look that everyone would necessarily think to put on. A checkered pattern is not a look that works for everyone. Not everyone likes patterns and not everyone likes checkered. Even though gingham is a checkered and pattern look I still think it is a look worth trying out at least once. If you've never tried out gingham and you do end up trying it out and don't like it then you never have to wear it again. But if you have tried out gingham and like the look then you've come to the right place. You may already have a gingham piece in your wardrobe. So you really don't need any new gingham pieces.
