This is one of the season’s “to die for” looks, as you can find beautiful gingham blouses, dresses, skirts, and shorts. These come in an array of colors and styles. Celebrities like Amal Clooney, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Alba love to show off their gingham looks. Check stores like Macy’s for some fabulous gingham looks.

Find these on the cheap at stores such as Nordstrom Rack.
