Season after season, checked dresses or “gingham” looks remain the “it” summer dress. The style, which can also be categorized as a picnic-style is easygoing, timeless and fun. The style is also a perfect transitional look as it can be worn in spring, summer and fall with a pair of boots and a leather jacket. Checked pattern dresses were popularized by the ’50s and ’60s and then resurfaced on the fashion scene in 2015 on the spring runways of Altuzarra, Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors and more.
Holmes maintained the summery theme by pairing the dress with a pair of trending gladiator sandals. The shoes featured caged straps at the front and were finalized with medium heel. If you’re looking to update your summer footwear collection, gladiator sandals are always a good idea. The style is versatile and comes in a number of iterations, including flat sandals, block heels, boots and stiletto options.
