The One Spring Trend That Truly Never Fails

There are a lot of subtle indications during the first half of April that really let you know that spring has, well, sprung. You order an iced coffee and suddenly remember that you don’t need a winter glove to hold it anymore. You go to put on a pair of boots and realize that, actually, you can get away with mules. Here in NYC, there’s always that first day of really nice weekend weather when it feels like the whole city has flocked to the park. And, of course, you know it’s really, definitely spring when you look at an item in gingham print and feel like you can finally wear it again.

Gingham, one of those rare gems that’s both trendy and classic, has the magical ability to make any item and any outfit feel instantly lighter, more interesting, and, of course, spring-ready. It never fails to delight and never—ever—looks dated. What else makes it amazing? You don’t need to break your budget to buy into it. The easy print is accessible from a range of brands, including our very own Who What Wear collection for Target. To see how girls are already styling our gingham pieces during these first few weeks of spring and shop them for yourself along the way, just keep scrolling.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
