“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” If you’ve been searching for a less expected way than buds and blossoms to shout “Spring is here!” with your wardrobe ever since Meryl Streep‘s character Miranda Priestly uttered these lines in The Devil Wears Prada, look no further than Spring 2015’s most seasonal print — gingham. The cheery check was all over (and we mean all over) the runways, brightening skirts, dresses, blouses and jackets in the collections of fashion houses like Diane von Furstenberg, Altuzarra and Proenza Schouler, to name a few. We’ve also spotted stars like Taylor Swift, Lily James and Rihanna wearing the on-trend pattern. The charming print brings to mind feminine icons like Brigitte Bardot (who famously wore a gingham wedding dress) and is a perfect match for this season’s return to classic silhouettes. And no, you will not look like a farm girl in gingham, especially if you take a style note from one of these 15 runway and celebrity inspirations.
We all love a good ol' flashback, right?
