Green gingham has long been reserved for primary school pinafores and vinyl tablecloths, but this summer it has leapfrogged polka dots to become the most in-demand print. Once you notice green gingham, you'll see it everywhere—this print is dominating both the high street and being reimagined by more luxury designers like Molly Goddard and Burberry.
A number of Instagram-famous labels like Faithfull the Brand and Shrimps have made green gingham a popular option for the beach, as both have created checked bikinis and cover-ups in a lime grid print. The shade of green varies from a muted sage to a neon, so this trend can be as subtle as you make it.
There are a number of trending gingham pieces out there, including a £59 fitted midi dress from Other Stories and a lime button-front dress from Faithfull. Keep scrolling to see how the Instagram crowd is wearing this print this summer, and then shop our favourite pieces.
