Gingham is in this spring!

Gingham is a hot trend this spring – just in the last week, singer Pixie Lott has been spotted out and about in a pair of cropped gingham trousers, while TOWIE star Ferne McCann has dazzled with a pretty off-the-shoulder green dress.

Meanwhile, the men are on the case too – we were reading in the Wall Street Journal a day or two ago about the rise of the dress shirt, with the boring pastel shades of old giving way to bright colours, bold patterns and checks.

On this side of the pond, one store that’s always embraced its gingham side is Crew Clothing, which is currently showcasing a range of classic gingham men’s shirts in fresh, spring colours – as well as some bolder prints that offer a stylish twist on the traditional tight check.

Whether it’s worn untucked over jeans and a dark t-shirt, or teamed with bold chinos and a smart blazer, a gingham shirt is a timeless, signature addition to any guy’s wardrobe – so get out there, gents, and embrace the trend!
