Is Gingham in Style in 2025?
Gingham always seems to pop up when the weather warms up, and every time it does, I find myself falling for it all over again. Whether it’s a classic black-and-white check or a bright punch of color, there’s just something about those tiny squares that feels fresh and fun. If you’re wondering whether gingham is still in style in 2025, the answer is a big yes. But it’s not just for picnic blankets anymore, this year’s versions are modern, playful, and surprisingly versatile for women over 50. Let’s break down how to wear it, what’s trending, and why you might want to add a few gingham pieces to your closet this season.
Is gingham still in style in 2025?
Absolutely! Gingham is back in a big way this year. Designers are giving it a fresh update by playing with color, scale, and silhouette. You’ll see oversized checks, softer pastel versions, and even gingham mixed with florals or embroidery for a more elevated feel.

What colors of gingham are trending this year?
Pastels like lavender, mint, and blush pink are huge, but you’ll also spot bold shades like cherry red, cobalt blue, and sunny yellow. Classic neutrals like navy and black never go out of style either, especially if you’re going for a timeless look.
Is gingham flattering over 50?
Yes, and the trick is in the styling. A smaller gingham print can look more subtle and polished, while larger checks can make a bolder statement. If you’re not sure where to start, try a gingham top with white jeans or a gingham midi skirt with a simple solid tee. It’s all about balance.
Is gingham just for spring and summer?
While it shines in warmer months, gingham can carry into fall with the right styling. Think long-sleeve gingham blouses under cardigans, or gingham pants with a denim jacket and ankle boots. It’s all in how you layer.
The Best Gingham to Wear for Summer 2025 for Women Over 50
Flattering Gingham Swimsuits to Try
This sporty little one-piece is such a fun swimsuit! It has a ribbed texture that feels modern, and the adjustable straps are a nice bonus if you need a little more support. The gingham detailing keeps it from looking too plain, and the high-cut leg is surprisingly flattering. If you’re planning to swim, chase after grandkids, or want something that feels secure for your swim aerobics class, this is a great option!
If you love a classic swimsuit for summer, you’ll want to take a look at this one. The square neckline is clean and simple, and the ruching through the middle gives you a nice smoothing effect without feeling tight. J.Crew’s gingham is subtle and polished, so it doesn’t scream trend, it just feels timeless. This is the kind of suit you’ll pull out summer after summer.
Now this one’s just plain cute. The high-waisted bottoms give you great tummy control, and I love that it comes with a little swim skirt for extra coverage. The gingham print is giving me vintage vibes in the best way, think 1950s pin-up, but totally wearable today. If you want a two-piece that doesn’t feel too revealing, this one checks all the boxes!
Cute Gingham Dresses for Women Over 50
This one is just so pretty. The puff sleeves add a soft, feminine touch, and the length makes it feel a little dressier without being overdone. It’s the kind of dress you could wear to church, a baby shower, or even just out to lunch with friends. The gingham keeps it fun, and the relaxed fit means you’ll be comfortable all day.
I love a good linen dress in the summer, and this one from Quince checks all the boxes. The fit-and-flare silhouette is flattering without clinging, and the gingham print adds just the right amount of charm. It’s made from European flax linen, so it feels like something you’d pack for a getaway to the coast, but just as perfect for running errands in the heat.
This button-down gingham dress is easy to wear, and I love that it can be dressed up or down. Add a belt if you want to define your waist or wear it loose for a relaxed vibe. It’s a great option if you like a little structure but still want to keep cool.
Sometimes, simple is best, and this little shift dress proves that! It’s lightweight, easy to throw on, and just long enough to give you some coverage without feeling heavy. The linen blend keeps it breathable, and the gingham pattern adds a fun, summery feel. This one’s a no-brainer for weekend outings or casual get-togethers!
Gingham Shirts and Tops
This Button-Up Shirt has a fresh, crisp feel to it, thanks to the clean checkered print and sleeveless cut. It gives the structure of a button-up with all the ease of a tank top. I like that the fabric isn’t too thin, you don’t need a cami underneath, and the medium fits (but I could have sized down) with just enough room to keep it from clinging on a hot day. I can see this being on repeat all summer long.
This is such a cute top for summer. The puff sleeves give it just enough personality, and the crew neck keeps things simple and polished. It’s lightweight, breathable, and easy to pair with jeans, shorts, or white pants. If you’re new to gingham or just want a softer take on the trend, this is a great option!
If you like a collar but want something a little more casual and cool than a traditional button-down, this one is a great option. The V-neck is flattering, and the short cap sleeves give you a bit of arm coverage without feeling hot. I love how this one looks tucked into denim shorts or worn loose over slim white jeans.
This one’s perfect for when you want a slightly more polished look. The light blue gingham is subtle and pretty, and the cut is more fitted, so it works well for the office or a lunch out. Roll the sleeves for a casual vibe or button it up for a cleaner finish. It’s a great way to wear gingham in a more tailored way.
