Kate Middleton has been busy supporting her early childhood mission. On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales visited the Windsor Family Hub to learn more about how the center provides help for local families, and she wore one of the summer’s prettiest prints while doing so.
As she met with parents and children, Middleton wore a double-breasted, blue gingham blazer and a pair of cigarette trousers. She layered a staple white T-shirt underneath and finished off the look with a pair of pointed-toe ballet flats.
Middleton has been wearing several colorful pieces lately, so this printed blazer is another look to add to the list. The lightweight blazer features blue shades of gingham print — arguably the unofficial print of summer. And there are so many fun ways to wear it.
From flowy dresses to puff-sleeve shirts, these gingham-printed pieces will surely become staples in your summer wardrobe. Shop the trend at Amazon, Madewell, and Nordstrom below, with prices starting at just $14.

Gingham print in dress form is a classic choice, too, like the Zesica Ruffle A-Line Maxi Dress. The dress has a cinched waist, and the tiered ruffles on the skirt portion make it even breezier. Plus, it has adjustable straps that tie together in a cute bow detail. The square neck and maxi silhouette provides great coverage of the chest and legs, and one five-star reviewer called it an “adorable summer dress.” You can shop it in 28 colors, including green, blue, and pink.
