If you have classic style, you're probably not shopping for very many trends right now (if at all). Summertime usually brings out the much more whimsical and extraverted side of things, so I wouldn't be surprised if you said you have trouble finding more understated and timeless pieces this time of year. Despite some of the more forward trends of the moment, there is one that's bubbling up again this year, and it's about as anti-trend as any "trend" can get. I'm talking about gingham, the classic print that's having another moment right now.
Gingham may not be new (it seems to come back around each summer, making it a trend with tons of longevity), but with so many fresh and forward pieces flooding the market from brands like High Sport, Posse, and Dôen, it's never felt more relevant than it does in 2025. With that, I'm sharing all the cutest gingham pieces that I know will resonate with even the staunchest classic dressers among us—from airy cotton midi dresses to tailored shorts sets.
Starting off strong with everyone's favorite Dôen dress.
Bubble-hem silhouettes and gingham print are a match made in heaven.
A surefire fire way to dress like a wealthy Italian woman this summer.
I can confirm that it doesn't get comfier than Juillet's smocked bikini.
Compliments are incoming.
These are nearly sold out in every color. Just saying.
As good as any vintage-boutique find.
Now that's a conversation starter.
Fashion people have formed a cult following for these kick-flare pants, and frankly, I want to join them.
How—I repeat, how—is this perfect dress still mostly in stock?
Peak pretty.
To wear with linen pants and denim shorts all summer.
I audibly gasped.
Don't even think about hitting "check out" if the shorts aren't also in your cart.
Red gingham gives me big Amalfi Coast energy.
Chic and flattering.
The contrasting neckline here makes it even more elevated.
Just a sucker for seersucker.
Mesh flats that not everyone else owns.
You'll never look bad wearing this. Promise.
It's the tailoring and structure for me.
Another day, another Dôen ace.
This brown-toned print feels so forward.
To wear with the matching vest for the office and with a bikini for the beach.
Aligne has great quality for its price, so I know this would remain in my closet for a long time.
You already know it looks good with jeans.
Help, I can't stop shopping for kick-flare pants like it's 2017 again.
So wearable.
A great piece for hot weather.
It may be called a bralette, but there's nothing about this that should be hidden.
So good.
Easy and effortless.
Just add ballet flats.
Bella Hadid is a fan of this skirt set, and the brand just recently brought it back in gingham.
Wear it with strappy sandals, tall boots, and ballet flats alike.
The collar!
A ready-made outfit.
Love the crisp pleats here.
The French-girl energy is potent.
Try wearing this for a fully day and avoiding compliments. I bet you can't.
