In case your fashion sense has been hibernating recently, let me break it to you: gingham is back and à-la-mode! As long as you don't go into gingham overdrive, it can serve your otufits as being that splash of colour and texture we all should wear in the spring and summer seasons, without making your outfit seem contrived, on the contrary giving it a younger rebelde look of nonchalance.
A combination that is a perfect example of how to make gingham work for you comes from the cover of the May 2009 issue of GQ. A fashionable blend of Dolce & Gabbana bespoke silk suiting, combined with a Thom Browne blue gingham shirt, yields a suprising yet somewhat unexpected cathartic product. It is definitely one of my favourite GQ "looks" so far, because the more I look at it the harder I find trying to bring the combo down from casual-business limbo. The playful texture and crisp tailoring work well together regardless of where the status quo finds you, either in business or casual situations.
Having none other than American heart-throb Zac Efron serve in re-ginghifying (I might have just created a new word!) fashion in style, is the "cherry on top" of this chequered denouement.
