Nothing says summer like a gingham dress. Timeless, feminine, and stylish, the woven print is the perfect choice for the sunny weather.
Gingham dresses are lightweight and airy while still giving some coverage for the inevitable breeze, and whether it's a pink, blue, or red gingham dress, the colourful print totally levels up an otherwise simple look. The silhouette typically has a fit-and-flare cut with puffed sleeves, but there are plenty more takes on the classic design across the high street right now.
Whether you're styling yours with a pair of white trainers or dressing it up with sandals and a raffia bag, the girly style will be a great new addition for creating effortless daytime looks this season and beyond.

Nobody's Child Gingham Delilah Dress
© Nobody's ChildNobody's Child's blue gingham dress is so feminine with its tea silhouette that's designed to flatter the figure, transitioning into a relaxed skirt with a ruffle hem. Finished with pretty puffed sleeves with pleated edges and a tie-back, the vintage-style midi will pair with trainers and sandals for a pretty daytime look.

New Look Gingham Tie Back Midi Dress
© New LookFor a subtle gingham print, New Look's floaty midi is the one. It comes in the prettiest bubblegum pink shade, with a tiered hem, square neckline, and shirred bodice, but the real showstopper element is the tie back paired with the thick cross-back straps. The summer style could easily be dressed up or down, and I love it styled with a raffia bag and espadrille wedges.

Offering a cool twist on the classic gingham print, the relaxed midi is so wearable for throwing on and instantly feeling put together.
