European summer is fast approaching, and if your flights are booked and restaurant reservations are locked in, it's officially time to start planning your vacation wardrobe. One must-have piece for your suitcase? A gingham-print dress.

We don't make the rules—Jennifer Lopez does. Over Mother's Day weekend, Lopez took to Instagram with a three-slide post featuring a fresh bouquet and her quintessential summer uniform: a Dior straw hat, a raffia bag, and a pink-and-white gingham dress by Reformation. It's not a one-off look, either. This marks the third time Lopez has stepped out in the same dress, confirming it as a staple in her vacation-ready rotation. If J.Lo's reaching for gingham on repeat, it might be time you did too.
