Gingham is a classic and timeless pattern that hits a high point of popularity every Spring and Summer. With gingham check sizes ranging from a miniscule 1/4″ to a mighty 2″, there is actually a lot of variety in the look.
The versatility of Gingham comes from the size of the checks that are used. Because they are smaller than a plaid pattern and can go all the way down to a micro-check, there is really nothing they can’t be paired with. Solids are an obvious go to – such as a red gingham shirt paired with a navy suit and brown penny loafers – but what if that’s a little bit too boring for you?
Yes patterning mixing can be a dangerous art but with gingham it becomes a whole lot easier. The general rule is to make sure that the patterns you use aren’t the same size as one another. Due to gingham being such a small pattern, it can be paired perfectly with something as adventurous as a shadow plaid grey blazer or a wide striped black business suit. The same also goes for any of your ties – as long as their stripes or checks are bigger than the shirt and you stick to the golden rule of always having your tie a darker color.
