How to Wear Gingham This Summer

Gingham is everywhere this season and for good reason. Checks are cool. You may remember these gingham pants from a recent style inspiration post (see it here). I also have a dress with the same pattern (see that dress worn here). Well, I decided to browse the weekend sales (see my complete list here because they’re still going on), and this gingham pant is marked down to $17 (taxes included) in-store. Banana Republic is offering an additional 50% off markdowns, plus an additional 20% off. If your wardrobe needs anything, you should probably explore this sale.

What I’m wearing:

Tee (similar) | Pants ($17 in-store!) | Sandals (similar, similar) |Gucci skinny belt

Sunglasses (option, option) | Earrings (similar) | Lip: Almay Goddess Gloss in Angelic

For a casual but polished look, I paired my discounted gingham pant with a navy blue, crew neck tee. My tee is by Vince via TJ Maxx, but these J.Crew tees (now on sale) are a great alternative if shopping for something similar.

I added my Gucci belt because the pant has belt loops. And, since I’m wearing the t-shirt tucked in, the belt cinches everything together nicely. By the way, if you’re looking for a luxe skinny belt but don’t want to pay Gucci prices, this skinny belt is the one for you.

My blush sandals are from Madewell. Blush sandals function as an ideal nude shoe on my skin tone. This particular style is sold out, but I also own a beautiful Clarks sandal in a similar color. See how I’ve worn those Clarks sandals here and here.
