The Future Is Clear: This Pretty Dress Trend Will Dominate Lake Como, Capri, and Cannes Next Month
J.Lo is leading the movement.

European summer is fast approaching, and if your flights are booked and restaurant reservations are locked in, it's officially time to start planning your vacation wardrobe. One must-have piece for your suitcase? A gingham-print dress.
We don't make the rules—Jennifer Lopez does. Over Mother's Day weekend, Lopez took to Instagram with a three-slide post featuring a fresh bouquet and her quintessential summer uniform: a Dior straw hat, a raffia bag, and a pink-and-white gingham dress by Reformation. It's not a one-off look, either. This marks the third time Lopez has stepped out in the same dress, confirming it as a staple in her vacation-ready rotation. If J.Lo's reaching for gingham on repeat, it might be time you did too.

With that said, keep scrolling to shop the best gingham-print dresses. While Reformation no longer stocks the exact dress, the brand still delivers on breezy, flattering gingham-print silhouettes designed for warm-weather escapes. If you're looking to branch out, labels like Mango, Dôen, and Playa Lucila also serve up plenty of chic one-and-done styles.
