Outdoor eating has become the norm for all our social events, making 2021 the unofficial year of the picnic (and the pub garden). So it makes sense that gingham is having a huge moment in the fashion world, because if we’re eating off a picnic blanket, why wouldn’t we want to look like one too?
Personally, I’m a huge fan of a checkered dress, especially if it’s a midi length. I was straight to jump on that New Look shirred style earlier in the year, and I have a red wrap one I bought back in 2019 that I can’t wait to take for a spin once… you know, it stops being a constant soul-warming ten degrees.
Anyway, these are our pick of the best gingham dresses online right now. Some are supermarket steals and others pricer numbers from up-and-coming independent brands. We hope you find something you like…
