Gingham Style

Gingham style, it takes after the much tuned and much danced song of Psy.  In fact it would be an investment to inject some cloth items in gingham print for this 2014 summer season.   It is an iconic pattern and it is a must have for any trendsetter to have in her wardrobe.  I am thinking about a shift dress, pairing it with a linen blazer.  It is ideal for dignified wearing at the Office or in the evenings, changing your pump shoes in high block wedge or heel shoes instead. 
Gingham is a great classic, very fashionable this summer even in the man’s collections.  Ralph Lauren has come up with man’s shirts in small gingham checks.  It is going to be the ultimate summer look both with women and men.  J Crew also came up with gingham shirts for men.
  
At ARK there is an array of clothing items that would fill your closet for this summer.  Leggings, white or black pointed collared short dresses,  skater dresses in pink and black.  One can complement the dresses by wearing a jeans short jacket or a colourful cardigan.  There is also the Tara boyfriend shirt in gingham chiffon print, which is fresh and sexy.  One can also wear boots, short or long to make these skimpy dresses look boho,  These dress items at ARK do not break the bank. 

This classic pattern that is both fresh and chic, has survived over the years. It was famously worn by style icon First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and spotted in all the fashion editorials of the 280’s and 90’s. This iconic pattern evokes a sense of history. Model Naomi Campbell had modelled it on fashion magazines. This summer designers like Kate Spade, Versace revamped and reinvented this classic print. Versace combined it with baroque print. You would not regret purchasing a couple of items in gingham print in your wardrobe.    

If gingham is not your preferred print try the black and white floral daisy print dresses, or the ciri tartan peter pan collared dresses, also available from ARK.
