I like it. Gingham is having a moment. Although it’s always around in the summer

Ting20161987 · 01/05/2025 14:09

If you were into fashion, you would know gingham is actually the new trend for summer!
Not my cup of tea, personally I don't like gingham and I think everything looks like those curtains that were used in replacement of cupboard doors in a kitchen

SkaneTos · 01/05/2025 14:13

Nothing wrong with that shirt. My uncle has one very similar.

@workworkisthereagain What does "bubble" mean in this context?

EverythingThatHappensWillHappenToday · 01/05/2025 14:13

I don’t particularly like it, but it’s the kind of thing my husband would happily wear.

GildedRage · 01/05/2025 14:17

I’m not keen on the size of the check, or the diagonal cut pocket.
But it’s clean and would look fine with denim.
Sorry but I’m Canadian and check shirts are the norm.

Gingham is on trend at the moment. It's a really normal summer shirt to be honest. I have no feelings on it either way.

Obviously everyone has different tastes but it's a very ordinary shirt and it's a bit weird to have this strong a reaction to it.

ginasevern · 01/05/2025 15:28

Yes, I think gingham is on trend at the moment. But I hate to tell you that the expression "bubble" might be a little passé.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 01/05/2025 15:38

Gingham may be “on trend”, but i certainly don’t like the red gingham on a man.

TeaIsNice · 01/05/2025 15:39

not quite JoJo Maman Bebe eh

hussandchips56 · 01/05/2025 15:40

I'd be saying to DH, you're wearing your Doris Day shirt then. He'd say yes. End of convo. Not bothered what he wears, same as he's not bothered what I wear.

BobbyBiscuits · 01/05/2025 15:41

Yeah it's awful. I think something similar in a different colour might be less horrible?

Arancia · 01/05/2025 18:51

It looks like a tablecloth from a French bistro...

Definitely the colour.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 01/05/2025 19:23

I'm not seeing anything wrong with it. It's a casual shirt, it's not faded black, it's in a cool and airy fabric and could be worn as is, with a white t-shirt underneath or over a long sleeved t-shirt in a dark colour for anybody who isn't comfortable showing their arms for any reason (including scars or for sun protection).

But then again, I see nothing wrong with a Tattersall either.

TheGoddessFrigg · 02/05/2025 08:58

I think it's lovely. And Im a fashion obsessive.

echt · 02/05/2025 09:04

It’s perfectly OK.

Westfacing · 02/05/2025 09:10

Short sleeves and a pocket! Shock

DappledThings · 02/05/2025 09:20

It's a completely normal shirt. Are the wildly OTT reactions to it some kind of in-joke or something? Baffling otherwise.

Probably something about 'how dare a man wish to wear something brightly coloured and comfortable instead of pale neutrals'.

Namechangefordaughterevasion · 02/05/2025 10:03

I like men who wear colour. Makes a nice change from blue, grey or porridge tones. It's a 👍🏻 from me.

Soonenough · 02/05/2025 11:43

Most suitable . Especially for a Liverpool fan. Beats the boring Nirvana T shirt some 50+ guys wear to be cool.
