Gingham pants are, I think, a little more business casual looking than the dresses, skirts, tops, or bikinis that have been hanging around all summer. The fit of the classic gingham trouser reminds me, personally, of a cool, stylish working woman. But there are so many different ways to wear them to make them look more casual and unique! They’re a little more sophisticated than jeans, which I love, and they’re comfortable. Convinced that you need a pair? You do! But first, check out these style tips on how to wear gingham pants. You’ll be so inspired that you’ll race to the store right after.
1. Go black and white. This combo of a black tank, cropped gingham pants, and white sneakers is pretty much perfect. The bandana headband and round sunglasses.
2. A pair of high waisted gingham jeans with a cute crop top. Wear this outfit with sandals, and for fall, you can replace the sandals with flats or ankle boots.
3. Keep them casual with a graphic tee. Gingham is a lot of pattern, so some people only wear gingham pants with a solid top.
4. Add a pop of bright color. Go all black and white…except for one accessory or piece. I think bright colored shoes are so fun with gingham pants.
5. Opt for a gingham jumpsuit. A jumpsuit has to be one of the easiest things to wear. This jumpsuit could easily transition to fall if layered over a long sleeve top or underneath a leather jacket.
6. Wear them with a denim jacket. A denim jacket and a pair of gingham trousers is such a classic combination – it’s casual and still stylish.
7. Choose gingham leggings. Gingham leggings exist, and they are probably super comfortable. Make them look ridiculously cool with an oversized graphic tee and a pair of combat boots.
8. Add a leather jacket. If you want to give it a bit of an edge, wear your gingham pants with a fitted leather jacket. The white sneakers in this outfit make the look really work.
9. Opt for a pair with ruffles. You can have fun with this pattern by getting a pair of gingham pants that have ruffles on them, like these cute frilly cropped trousers.
10. Wear gingham flares for something different. Straight leg gingham pants are pretty standard, but flared, cropped gingham pants? These look great for fall with ankle boots and a comfy turtleneck.
11. Black and white gingham might be the most popular, but it’s definitely not the only shade! Buy a pair of trousers in a different color.
12. Mix prints. Gingham and stripes might sound like a terrifying combo, but it can actually work! Also, the sliver of belly thanks to the crop top helps break up the look.
13. Get yourself a gingham suit to really take on this trend! Look how cool it looks with these bright red heels. You can also wear each piece separately if putting them together is too much.
14. Pair your pants with a bold colored sweater. A bright top with black and white pants always looks good. This red with gingham combo looks particularly good.
15. Mix patterns by wearing gingham pants with a lacy top. It’s unexpected, but looks good. I love how this girl paired a large lace pattern with a tiny gingham pattern.
16. Wear gingham pants with a button down shirt. Go for a more professional vibe by wearing your pants with a button down.
17. Add a big sweater. An oversized sweater with a pair of gingham pants and flats. I love the color that comes with this bright statement necklace if you’re into that.
18. Get dramatic with wide leg pants. These gingham culottes are so unique. Keep them polished with heels and a button down shirt.
19. Keep things simple with a black top. If you want an easy, go-to outfit for fall, get a pair of gingham trousers and wear them with a black sweater, tucked in.
20. Add a fun scarf. Want to play around with mixing prints without going too crazy? Add a printed scarf to your outfit.
