Fashion Week:
Taking Runway to Reality
By Melissa Meisel

De Color | Glamour | Hang Ten | Go Gingham

Go gingham
Seen on the runways of Betsey Johnson and Nanette Lepore , the little checkered print is a cute classic. After all, Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island made the peppy plaid quite appealing. Dating back to the pioneer era, gingham has been appearing in prints every few years for centuries!

How to do:

  • Try a gingham-printed headband to spice up your ‘do
  • Gingham cosmetic cases or clutches carry punch
  • A sexy shift is sweetened with a gingham pattern
Bright idea: Since gingham is a vintage-inspired print, comb your local thrift shop for aprons, gloves, hats, anything with this popular print!

The beauty of fashion is personalization and interpretation; take any of these looks and dress them up with your own style!
