Check Mate: How Gingham Became the Print of Summer 2025
Gingham – the cooler, more laid-back cousin of plaid – makes its comeback every summer, just as its sturdier counterpart returns to storage with the knits and overcoats. Breezy and nostalgic, it's the kind of print you instinctively pack for a tropical escape or a last-minute weekend away. Long associated with picnic blankets and vintage tablecloths, gingham's fashion footprint is far more nuanced. Season after season, designers breathe new life into the print – reworking it into structured dresses, crisp co–ords, and soft separates in neutral tones and unexpected cuts. In 2025 alone, the Frankies Bikinis x Bella Hadid and GAP x Dôen collaborations put gingham front and centre in dreamy summer dresses. Labels like Sandy Liang, Reformation, Longchamp, Meshki, and Marni are also getting behind the checkered print, offering skirts, trousers, and tops that feel refreshingly grown-up. Recently spotted on Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Sarah Jessica Parker, gingham has officially moved beyond nostalgic and into celebrity–certified cool. Never costume-y, always current – it keeps things interesting without trying too hard. And, of course, the cultural archive runs deep. Judy Garland's blue gingham pinafore in The Wizard of Oz practically wrote the rulebook. Princess Diana gave it off–duty polish in bright–pink gingham capris and ballet flats. Margot Robbie immortalised the pastel version in Barbie . And recently, Sabrina Carpenter sealed the deal, wearing a blue gingham co–ord in her Manchild music video – cementing its status as an official 2025 staple. This season, the check is everywhere again – but styled in a way that feels grown–up and ready for real life. Whether you go all–in with a matching set or keep it subtle with just one piece, consider it the unofficial uniform of 'Summer 2025'. A guide to wearing gingham now For Aparna Chandra, Co–Creative Director of Nicobar, an Indian label that has quietly championed gingham since its inception, the appeal lies in its consistency. 'Gingham isn't trending in 2025 because it's new – it's resonating because it's real. Honest. Familiar. At Nicobar, it's always felt like a natural fit: not seasonal, but perennial. We come back to it not for novelty, but for its quiet ease and versatility. Over the years, we have used gingham both subtly and centrally – it breaks up prints, softens boldness, and adds detail even as a trim. Structured but never stiff, it brings balance and a kind of visual grounding that works across silhouettes. Gingham isn't a trend – it's part of our fabric. Season after season, it lives on in the pieces we make: thoughtful, timeless, and built to last.' The summer dress, reimagined

Let These 8 Colour Trends Dominate Your Wardrobe In 2025
Brat Green took the fashion world by storm in 2024, but this year the hue is pivoting in a slightly quieter direction by way of frog green.

Sandy Liang Resort 2026 Collection
Like many other designers in New York City, Sandy Liang has been hit by the tariffs. But she isn't letting that dampen her spirits; her resort collection is as light-hearted and fun as ever. Nostalgia seems to work well for Liang, and she often references specific childhood memories in her collections. This season it was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air—and one episode in particular, when Will dresses up as a sunflower alongside elementary schoolers as part of a graduation requirement. Not surprisingly, Liang's version is a lot cuter and a bit more practical than the TV one—Liang's balaclavas are easily removable and even have a hole in the back for a ponytail to stick out. They also make a perfect set when paired with some of her technical jumpsuits made of the same spandex fabrication. But with Liang's collections, while the most fun can be found at some of the more Instagrammable pieces, the real bestsellers come down to the basics. Classic polo shirts come oversized and with contrasting built-in sleeves so that you don't actually have to wear two layers to achieve the layered look, while what looks like a simple baby tee has a built-in bikini bra so you can go braless. Matching sets do well for the brand, and this season they got a cozier treatment. 'Resort and high summer is always a more realistic season,' said Liang. 'You don't have to do all the razzle dazzle of a runway show, but you can have fun with the details.' At market week the designer found that one of the most popular pieces amongst her team and buyers was an oversized sweater: Liang's version comes with an elasticized waistband that you can cinch up so it gives the illusion of a two-piece set, as well as providing a more flattering fit for those who may be petite like Liang. 'A lot of us wear our sweaters more cinched anyways, we want to tuck it in and feel flattered even without a belt,' explained the designer. And it always comes back to motherhood for Liang. The designer recently celebrated her son Rainer's first birthday, and the toddler is already making a mark on the downtown cool brand. Not only is a drawing of his face on the back of some of the T-shirts in the collection, but some pieces were influenced by the outfits he wears. A jersey cardigan skirt set is what Liang describes as just a 'blown-up version,' of what her son wears. Giving it that signature Liang touch, the set is adorned with a cute kitten print on a faded blue fabrication for a lived-in and hand–me-down touch.

Groutfits Are Back—Here's How Fashion Icons Are Styling Them
Gray has a reputation for being boring. It's the color of sidewalks, sweatpants, and cloudy skies—but against all odds, it's become one of this season's biggest color trends. All-gray outfits, known colloquially as groutfits, were long reserved for colder months—but not anymore. According to designers like Sandy Liang, Thom Browne, and Giorgio Armani, you should be wearing monochrome gray looks year-round. Worn en masse, shades once considered drab can feel surprisingly fresh. Just look at the sooty, ashen hues that anchored the spring/summer 2025 runways of trendsetters like Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, and Paloma Wool. Michelle Williams, Jennie Kim, Tracee Ellis Ross, Hailee Steinfeld, and Gigi Hadid are just a few of the celebrities who have been photographed in all-gray outfits over the past few weeks. If there's anything to be learned from their effortless Chanel sweatsuits and Thom Browne separates, it's that groutfits are inherently chic. Why else would Kendall Jenner wear one to the Met Gala? Plus, executing the perfect groutfit is easier than you think. The key is to play with proportion, texture, and silhouette. Contrast a sleek wool suit with a nubby suede bag and metallic flats, pair a cozy cashmere knit with a pearly silk slip, or pile chunky silver jewelry atop a basic tee or tank. The beauty of a groutfit is that it can be as minimalist or maximalist, and as casual or formal, as you'd like. Don't let the concept of "all-gray" keep you from adding subtle accents to your look, either. Something as simple as a crisp white button-up or classic red lip can transform an underwhelming look into one that's smartly understated. Colorless charcoals and steel grays can make the perfect playground for on-trend items like butter-yellow blouses, cherry-red handbags, and ballerina-pink sneakers—as well as for heirloom diamond jewelry and silver timepieces. After seasons of chocolate brown at the forefront, gray is gearing up to be the next It neutral. Charcoal, steel gray, and taupe were key colors on the fall/winter 2025 runways of top designers like Toteme, Stella McCartney, Alaïa, and Tory Burch, so expect groutfits to trend well into 2026. Use the remainder of spring to stock up on gray wardrobe staples, so you'll be ready to go all in by the time fall rolls around. To get you started, we've gathered the season's best groutfit building blocks below.
