Take a piece of gingham print clothing and begin building your outfit around this. Ensure that as with any style, the piece suits your figure and coloring and plays down any unflattering parts while making the most of your assets. Be very careful, as small checks can make you appear wider than you actually are.

Work around your piece of clothing by adding simple additions such as a dark shirt or jersey to tone down the piece. If you are feeling less adventurous, you can also opt for some gingham print shoes or bag instead of clothing that will make a less obvious statement.

Keep your accessories low key and use one-tone colors and plain styles so you don't take away from the gingham print or make the outfit too busy and uncoordinated. Plain and simple jewelry with a single color belt and shoes are good choices that will keep your outfit balanced.

Wear your finished outfit to the right place. Unless your gingham print is very subtle and made of dark subtle colors, avoid wearing this style to the office or a formal event. Reserve gingham for social gatherings or informal settings.

5
Be versatile with your gingham prints and dress them either up or down such as with a pair of blue jeans or dark trouser suit for a gingham blouse. Avoid trying to wear gingham in a "cutesy fashion" such as a sundress or with ballet shoes, as this can make you seem less style guru and more "Wizard of Oz."
