We enter 2025 just as we left 2024, with nostalgia being the top trend for movies, runways, home décor—you name it! Whether it is watching our Barbies come to life on the big screen or finding outfit inspiration from Rachel Green, there is a collective nod to our past. One pattern making a strong comeback is the versatile and playful gingham.
Even Vogue agrees: “As for the print that reigned supreme on the spring/summer runways? It wasn’t a floral or an animal but plaid, and its first cousin, gingham. The autumnal pattern was already a favorite last fall, and it seems like fashion wasn’t done with it for spring, rendering it in softer colors and shapes.” – The Top 8 Spring 2025 Fashion Trends You Can Shop and Wear Now by Madeline Fass, Talia Abbas, and Laura Jackson.
The Superstar of Patterns
To be an icon, popularity must span decades—and gingham is no different. Dorothy’s blue and white checkered dress from The Wizard of Oz is one of the most recognizable costumes of all time. The 1950s saw rockabilly halters and voluminous swing skirts in the checkered pattern, and today, brands like J.Crew and Quince are incorporating gingham into their 2025 collections. As fashion influences home décor, brands such as Serena & Lily and Pottery Barn have embraced the trend as well, incorporating the pattern into beddings, curtains, and even wallpapers.
The Versatility of Gingham
Unlike its more complex counterpart, plaid, gingham features an evenly spaced checkered pattern, typically alternating between white and a color of choice. The possibilities are endless. While red and white gingham may be the classic picnic tablecloth pattern, our premium linen tablecloths elevate the look with options like black and white for a bold contrast or natural and white for a minimalist, monochromatic aesthetic. Our 100% linen material enhances the effortless, whimsical charm of gingham, making it a natural fit for both relaxed gatherings and elegant events. Pair your tablecloth with our gingham linen napkins in a variety of colors for a sophisticated, layered tablescape.
To enhance your table setting further, layer our gingham linen placemats with vintage-inspired dinnerware, delicate floral arrangements, and brass or wooden accents for a rustic yet refined look. Tie our matching linen napkins with twine or napkin rings for an extra touch of elegance. For a pop of contrast, mix and match gingham with our solid-colored runners or scalloped shaped placemats. Soft candlelight and fresh blooms will complete the setting, making every meal feel like a special occasion.
