Gingham has been everywhere this season and I found the perfect summer Topshop dress. The loose fit, exposed shoulders and lightweight fabric make this dress ideal for a hot summer day. Although I am dressed as if I was the gingham tablecloth that would rest under your summer picnic in the park, I am still obsessed with the pattern. Gingham is the summers’ most wearable trend. It exudes a youthful vibe to the pattern so I opted for a smock style with shoulder cut outs rather than a more tailored and sophisticated look.
When I think of effortless summer dresses, I automatically think easy silhouettes that are loose around the body, and made of breathable cotton fabrics. I have worn this dress all summer and it packs extremely well without wrinkling. I usually wear this gingham smock dress running errands, lounging around or even a beach coverup. The best part about this dress, it is under $70. Let me know how you styled gingham this season in the comments below!
