Going Gingham

L to R: Oscar de la Renta, Altuzarra, DVF, Michael Kors, Ungaro

Looking at the catwalks from last September's NYFW the message was crystal clear: the print for Spring '15 is grown- up gingham.  This comes as no surprise, however, since every year around this time the checkered print circles back around and resurfaces.  Perhaps it's because spring reminds us of picnics, and picnics remind us of gingham! While the trend may not be a new one, the difference for SS'15  is that the graphic pattern got a sophisticated makeover and so it looks especially feminine on everything from lady-like dresses to day suits and evening wear separates.  Wondering how to take the trend from runway to real-way?  Shop my favorite pieces of the season below and Go Gingham!
