Check it out: for every season, there’s an appropriate plaid. Summertime means stowing away those holiday tartans and choosing a bright and bold gingham. Graphic and bold, these picks are sure to add a little dose of prep to anything you plan on wearing this season. Give your jeans and t-shirt a dose of gingham or add this plaid pattern to your summer eyelet dresses. It’s an easy way to embrace the season — and the country club — without looking like you’re part of the twinset set.
