There’s just something so fun and relaxing (yes, at the same time) about gingham. Perhaps it’s the fact that it reminds us of warm, sunny days. Or maybe it’s because a perfectly-even check pattern is oddly satisfying. It could also simply be that gingham is cute—and we know that no matter how we wear it, we’ll look incredible. And while gingham dresses and gingham pants have quickly become seasonal favorites, nothing quite beats the versatility of plus-size gingham tops. Which means, of course, we’ll be shopping them in droves.
Like florals, stripes, and even leopard print, gingham can ultimately be considered a neutral. Yes, you can always pair a gingham top with wide-leg jeans or a classic black slip skirt—but feel free to go a bit bolder, too. Mix and match your favorite printed pieces this season, and you might find yourself quickly becoming a pattern clashing expect. Because gingham tops really do look adorable when worn with floral mini skirts, seersucker pants, and patchwork jeans. All you have to do is take a risk—and watch it pay off.
Of course, plus-size gingham tops are cute enough to wear with anything and look good. Picnic-chic and perfect for days spent adventuring or sipping wine under the sun, you can’t lose with gingham. Just pair your gingham shirt with whatever you heart desires. Odds are, it’ll work perfectly.
So go ahead and stock your closet full of gingham tops ASAP. They’re a spring and summer favorite, sure, but you can wear these beauts well into fall, too. (Layering is key here.) And a cute shirt that looks great paired with anything while also serving as a year-round essential? That’s a major sartorial win.
