Ha! Was just thinking stick some cowboy boots on and you’ll be good!
I don’t love the tiered skirt look but I love gingham and although it gives tablecloth vibes I’m a sucker for the print - wear it!

FruAashild · 13/05/2026 05:47

I think it's gorgeous. Don't wear it with a white tshirt though. What about a pale pink top with red trainers and a blue jacket?

Ophy83 · 13/05/2026 07:37

I love it and don't think you should restrict yourself to only wearing it with white. Pale pinks and blues look great with red.

MrsMitford3 · 13/05/2026 07:41

I love it.

Nothing like a bit of gingham to brighten the day-wear it and have fun!!!

GlamDress · 13/05/2026 08:08

Love it. Uniqlo have some in this summer.

Ok I’ll wear it. Not yet it’s not warm enough. Well sort of is!

It's 6 degrees here. It isn't sort of warm. It's bloody cold!

FeltCarrot · 13/05/2026 08:34

I love it! I’ve just ordered a similar one from Uniqlo.

Nogimachi · 13/05/2026 08:45

I love it. I suspect if you are tall, willowy and otherwise well turned out it will look great, if you are on the shorter side or carrying any weight it might not do you any favours.

Gingham is a basic summer staple !
My daughter 24 has 3 of these and she always looks lovely and gets a lot of compliments when she wears them !
She wears them with high neck tank tops waist jewellery belts and doc martins sandals !

I love gingham, cute skirt! I agree with pps suggesting wearing with a top other than white, could be more interesting, but it would be hard to get right I think this would look nice with a layered look, so a fitted vest under a loose floaty top both in white, with some sandals.

HappyHacienda · 13/05/2026 09:11

I love it op 🙌

patioh · 13/05/2026 09:36

I love it! I don't think you need to be tall and willow at all. And although I like the suggestions of pairing it with other colours, I also think it'll look fab with white.

floppybit · 13/05/2026 09:49

I love it

Clarissaclaire · 13/05/2026 09:54

Love it. Uniqlo are doing similar red gingham skirt just now and teaming it with a denim jacket. Looks so fresh and summery.

luckylavender · 13/05/2026 10:01

Love it

patioh · 13/05/2026 10:01

Here's the Uniqlo one: https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E486098-000/00

I prefer the OP's though personally. Good charity shop find!

ERthree · 13/05/2026 10:13

I think it is fantastic

Gemstonebeach · 13/05/2026 10:15

It’s cute! Look up Molly Campbell on instagram, she’ll give you some ideas on how to wear it fr her style.

I have a denim jacket. And white vest top. And pink vest top. Think I’ll just try some different combos with it.

I’m now googling red trainers.

I was amazed to find it! Good old RSPCA. I was even more shocked to find it was current season. I got a cute yellow floral strappy top (Primark) in another charity shop (Shelter) plus my mum’s birthday card so I’ve done well yesterday.

Very nice! I’d be happy to wear that, probably with a navy or pink t shirt.

Inmyuggs · 13/05/2026 10:36

It looks good with the tee in the photo.
Or something similar

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 13/05/2026 10:39

it comes in lots of different colours but all sold out. There’s a black and white one on Depop though.

I think I’m going to wear it tomorrow night but with a whistles long sleeved red tshirt top and cowboy boots in dark brown.
