One of this season's tried and true patterns is gingham. Brought into Europe in the 17th century, it’s a classic checkered print that will never go out of style.

And it’s a print that is suitable for anything from daytime at the office office to the weekend getaway. From jackets and pants to gingham dresses, here are 5 gingham pieces to add to your wardrobe right now!

Gingham shirt dresses are above and beyond the answer to your gingham one-piece problems. Belted, they are a great accentuation for the waistline or loose they are a great piece for all you mammas out there looking to feel great in a snap. When it comes to the cooler months, think about wearing this gingham dress with a turtleneck under it or layer over it with a sweater, tights, and knee high boots! Pair it with nude, tan, or camel color accessories (think bag and shoes) and it’s a perfect color palate match.

You can wear it tucked or untucked, layered under a great sweater, or matched with a pleated skirt and heels to wear to the office. Whichever way you wear it, there are a plethora of ways to pair a gingham top. This makes it a great, functional wardrobe piece.

A classic gingham outer layer is a great option when you want work with more than just one staple gingham piece. You can pair a vest, jacket, or blazer with a solid colored top to ground the outfit for a more subtle approach. But one great pattern that works well with gingham is black/white stripes!

One of the sleekest ways to integrate gingham into a work outfit may be with gingham ankle pants. You can pair them with anything from a solid peplum top and heels to a top layered with a cozy wool sweater and flats (the perfect cold weather work combo!). It’s a great alternative to the plain work pant and it's become my new favorite pant to wear!
