Joe’s Style Edit: Must-Have Summer Gingham!

Looking to add a little nostalgia to your wardrobe this summer? Let us introduce you to this season’s must-have print; gingham…

 

The word gingham was coined in the 17th century as a striped fabric imported to Europe from India and didn’t become the pattern we know and love today until the mid-18th century, when Manchester mills started weaving fabric into checked or plaid patterns – often blue and white, but this season we’re loving an array of bright and beautiful gingham finishes.

So, whether you’re loving getting your fashion inspiration from the past, are looking to add a modern vintage twist to your wardrobe or just want to dip your toe into this retro trend with some accessories, we’ve got loads of fabulous styles for you to choose from.

 


Vintage Vixen…


Let’s kick things off with one of our favourite and most versatile styles of the season, The Dixie Halterneck Dress – perfect for dressing up or down depending on the occasion. With a back zip fastening, cross-over back straps and even two pockets, this pinafore-style dress is a knockout!!

Looking to go full vintage vixen? Style yours with Joe’s rockin' Marty Leather Jacket in a ravishing red. For full-on class or a red-hot date, opt for the Head Turner T-Bar Shoes and matching bag. If it's still missing something, add a touch of Joe Browns personality with an adorable Vintage Polka Dot Doggy Brooch to create a look that'll send people barking mad!

A Modern Twist…


Introducing Fresh As A Daisy Dress – the perfect combination of our spring favourites… Colourful gingham and pretty daisies!

Complete in a pastel mint green with a flattering self-tie belt and patch pockets – layer yours over a casual white tee for a laidback summer look, on its own in the height of summer, or over an essential denim jacket when the weather turns chilly.

This dress would look great paired with heeled sandals or brogues, but our favourite way to style it this season is with Got To Have it Pumps – we love the mix of smart and casual for a comfortable and truly remarkable summer outfit.

Don’t forget the accessories! Add our fair trade Star Gazer Silver Plate Necklace & Star Gazer Stretch Bracelet for the perfect finishing touches!
