Trend Alert: Gingham

Gingham is all grown up! You don't have to feel like Lolita in today's gingham offerings...unless you want to (wink). Every gal should have at least one gingham item for a super summery day. It may rival chambray as a lightweight, classic fabric but it's got the colorful angle. Whether it's a picnic in the park, wine tasting with friends or a romantic dinner out, gingham deserves to be there - it has stood the test of time.
