GINGHAM

I saw this spring trench, and I really like it. It seems that the same brand has various versions of this across the department stores. The sleeves are too long for me, and I don't do double breasted, but it's cute.

This one is probably last year's style-

Laundry By Shelli Segal

Nordstrom Rack- black

Last Call @NM- black and blue single breasted

Macy's- black and blue double breasted

It IS cute! My issue is that gingham comes and goes so "years" of wear won't happen unless I save it for the next cycle through. And by then I will probably be too old to wear it!

QVC has this cute gingham top from Joan Rivers. I have not worn gingham in years. I should buy one for a fresh spring look.

it's cute but I think we can do the gingham trend in a shirt or pants and get more wear from them. (IMO)

I love the detail at the back. Very different and interesting. Gingham goes in and out of style. I remember being pregnant with my first son in 1978 and had a cute red and white gingham maternity top.

I am not a fan of gingham. It is one of the few prints I do not care for very much.

I love gingham and consider it a classic that trends more strongly some years than others, just like animal print. I wear a little gingham every summer, "trendy" or not. I bought a collared poplin shirt in a pansy purple and white gingham this spring from Talbots, and I love it!

I like gingham. I don't think I have any right now though. I prefer small checks or just touches of it. Nice, fresh look for spring & summer!

Not gingham, but this is what I ended up ordering-

I ordered from Poshmark (first time) and I'm hoping that it fits.

Not a gingham fan for myself, but sometimes I like it on others.

Now, if I looked like Daisy Duke used to look like in gingham - I suppose I would wear it!! Her and her little tight gingham shirts and her little tight cut offs...

Add me to the list of those that don't care for it. It always reminds me of a picnic table cloth.

Cute shirt!

Yes, that's it -- thank you for posting the photo. (I still haven't figured out how to do so when hovering over it on a website magnifies part of it!) The color is very nice with my un-dyed graying hair.
