Trends to try: Nothing says summer like gingham

Nothing says summer like checked cotton.

Gingham is everywhere this season, and these gorgeous styles are versatile for any occasion, from parties to weddings. Just add some clever accessories to dress up or down.

Pink gingham makes for a fresh take on the classic trouser suit. An investment buy, it will work for many occasions from smart to casual.

You’ll get a lot of wear out of this gorgeous two-piece, and it’s perfect for taking on holiday. You can wear the pieces separately or together, giving you plenty of outfit variations. Add a belt for waist definition.

The relaxed cut makes this a cool and comfortable option. Wear with trainers and a basket bag, or take it up a notch with wedge sandals for a more dressed-up look.
