From timeless red and white combinations to playful pastels, gingham is versatile enough to suit any taste or occasion. It’s a fabric that’s here to stay because of its timeless charm.

Even though gingham has a simple design, it manages to feel refreshingly modern when used in clothing. Its association with children’s wear and school uniforms speaks volumes about its clean, youthful aesthetic. But don’t let that fool you—gingham can look equally stunning on adults. It’s a fabric that strikes the perfect balance between tradition and contemporary flair.
Now, let’s dive into some inspiring examples of Oliver + S patterns crafted in gingham:
